I use it for my interactive-fiction backend and to host save files for another game.

Nothing fancy, just a web server getting file and saving them. Like a KV-storage.

I have deployed it to dogital ocean on 2017. I have not TOUCHED it since then. Still running good. And I can access the Pharo GUI via the web VNC just from my browser with full access to the IDE and dev env.

The cons: I forgot how to run that docker image. If it fails I am in troubles reminding myself how to run it one more time. 6 years have passed...

You can use this tool to figure out how to run again any currently running container https://github.com/lavie/runlike
Awesome, I’ve been learning Docker lately and asked ChatGPT how to do this. It told me to run inspect and that there was not a way to get the command used to launch the container. Thanks for sharing.
On contra, my dart telegram bot runs on the same machine. I have to restart it weekly. Even when the load is 0. LMAO

That's a thing I read about elsewhere, and it sounds like it has or had an integrated VNC Server - is that true (meaning run it heqdless from cli via ssh and connect to it through that), or do you need an X and leave Pharo "opened"? Any pointers appreciated ;-)

Your bash history should be helpful here.
