Hi list, I don't know if this will be useful to anyone, but I've been playing with making s6 based VMs and containers for the last month or so, and my latest experiment is s6-rc in a jor1k browser based VM.
To try it out, point a recent version of Firefox or Chromium (and any other browser the jor1k project supports) at http://linsam.homelinux.com/extra/s6-altsim/jor1k/demos/s6-rc.html The files are loaded into your browser and the emulation runs on your computer within the browser (it is an OpenRisc simulator in javascript) Its still a bit rough around the edges (most of the example services are currently left un-started), but I'm working on it. Hopefully it is functioning enough to give a taste of s6-rc to anyone who wants to try it out without having to install it onto a machine. (I am not affiliated with the original jor1k project; I just cloned their VM repository and put s6-rc into the virtual filesystem. The original jor1k project is here: https://github.com/s-macke/jor1k/wiki ) -- John O'Meara
