use playpen to implement a sandbox for running code on the rust website #6916
Description
I made a simple sandbox for the bot on #rust, and I plan on making a web frontend for it. The service as a whole could run in a VM since it's still vulnerable to a kernel exploit in one of the whitelisted system calls.
Since rustc uses at least 70MiB of memory and up to 128-150MiB for reasonably small examples, we'll need to limit the concurrency based on the chosen resource limit for the sandbox and the memory available.
This would be a nice way to let people try to language before going through the relatively long compile.
TODO list
- ec2 instance - playtest.rust-lang.org
- styling the same as the main rust website
- DNS record for
play.rust-lang.org(or some similar name) - ability to submit code to the server and have it compiled/run
- rustdoc integration -- links on all code examples to submit and compile. Note that this should submit all the commented out portions of the example as well (which rustdoc hides by default).
- fork rust-playpen to the rust-lang organization
