An editorthat opens instantly

Geany, on a Void Linux desktop of your own.Symbols, a build command and a terminal — and nothing else to wait for.

The application

Small,and still an IDE

The parts of an IDE that earn their keep, in a program that starts at once.

Symbols down the side

A parsed outline of the file, for the fifty languages it knows out of the box.

Build and run keys

Compile and execute commands per filetype, with the output in a pane below.

Plugins if you want them

Split views, a file browser and a project manager, each switched on separately.

How you run it

Every defaultis one override away

The session reads its settings from the environment, so you set them on the start line.

VNC_PASSWORDWhat the tab asks for. It ships as dxflow, and everyone reading this knows that.

PANEL and TASKBARBoth hidden, so the editor has the whole screen. Show either one to get the desktop back.

AUDIOOff here. Turn it on and the desktop sound is streamed beside the picture.

start it your way

$ dxflow workflow start geany --override env.app.VNC_PASSWORD=something-long

$ dxflow workflow start geany --override env.app.TASKBAR=show --link

Set a password firstVNC_PASSWORD defaults to dxflow, and everyone can read this page.

Good to know

Small on purpose,all the way down

A light editor on a light desktop. The whole thing is under three hundred megabytes.

It starts immediately

There is no language server warming up and no extension host. The window is there before you have finished looking at it.

Built on Void

The smallest desktop base the hub has, which is most of why this entry pulls so quickly.

Projects belong on the volume

Keep sources and Geany's project files under /volume and the next start opens where you left off.

The image

Pulled once,then it stays

Geany arrives as one image. This is what comes down the first time, and what the disk should have free for it.

20GOn diskunpacked, with room to work beside it

ghcr.io/dxflow-ai/geany:latestPublished from the hub, pulled on the first start and kept for the ones after it.

Either architectureamd64 and arm64 are both published, and the machine pulls the one it runs.

What it asks for

What it wants,and what it needs

The definition asks for 2 cores and 4 GB. The image comes up on less than that, and a start given --fit trims the ask to whatever the machine actually has.

2 cores · 4 GBAsks forwhat the definition writes down

2 cores · 2 GBRuns onthe least the image comes up on

Not neededGPUit works on the cores alone

The ask is not the floorThe definition writes down what suits the work. The image itself starts on less, which is what the second figure is.

--fit caps it to the hostA start given --fit trims each step to what the machine actually has, for that start alone. The definition is never rewritten.
