@JoshBent I use a virtualbox image with snapshots and git for version control. I've been meaning to migrate to docker since the virtualbox image is around 20gb but havnt found a gap yet.

@kurtr how does that exactly work? you have your base image somewhere hosted and git is tracking the snapshots right? or are you pushing the full image each time 😶
edit: also why would it matter how much you have opened, is it because your server isnt powerful enough? or why would vnc/rdp care. -
@JoshBent I push the entire image just to be safe. The opened tabs come in on the rasberry pi - my virtual machine is my web server, I run the server and then mount the codebase as a drive to my localmachine I then use the ide installed on my local machine to edit the code on my vm. I'm currently working on a pi3 with 1gb ram which is why open tabs is a problem.
Man I love VM's!
I'm on a very tight deadline and my laptop died this morning and needs a reformat, usually this would be a very dire situation... Luckily I use a virtual machine for my dev env so I just remoted into a pc at my office using my phone, launched an instance of my vm and forwarded a public IP to it.
I'm currently working on my rasberry pi while machines installing linux. The only noticeable difference so far is that I only have enough ram to keep open around 5 browser tabs. :-D
