Tried it for 30mins. I installed apache2 and made a quick mirror of my personal homepage with wget.

After the 30min session the window closed and it told me that session expired. Although the actual server was still up at the ip. About 5 minutes later apache shut down, so I guess the server was destroyed.

This is great for experimenting things. You could quickly for example test "sudo rm -rf" at the root and see what it does. Nice one!

You can already do `docker run -ti ubuntu bash` and not be limited to 30 minutes test :)

Sure, but you need larger platform than just a browser to do that.

I mean, for example total beginners may find this truly helpful.

Do you? JSLinux (by Fabrice Bellard) disagrees :) http://bellard.org/jslinux/
