tomgidden/ubuntu-server repository overview

This is not a traditional slim Docker container. It's a proper Ubuntu Server, running /sbin/init, SSH, etc. and configured with my preferred zsh shell setup.

It needs some command-line settings to get it to work, at least on my Mac, so they're in a Makefile in the source repo.

To run:

1. git clone https://github.com/tomgidden/ubuntu-server.git
2. Inspect GNUmakefile so you're happy with it.
3. make copy_ssh # Copies ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to the contained user's authorized_keys
4. make run
5. make ssh or make shell
6. make clean

make ssh seems to work better for me than make shell; it acts more like a normal server, whereas make shell seems to do weird things with the terminal, like restricting to 80x24.
