just curious - if it runs from a docker container, what is the advantage of running the browser as opposed to just ssh'ing in ?

The main advantage is accessibility and ease of use: with the browser, no setup is required on the user’s side, no toolchains need to be installed, and there’s no need to be familiar with SSH or terminal workflows

It also provides a more visual and interactive environment (editor, peripherals, simulation controls), which is especially useful for teaching and for beginners.

The Docker image is there so you can easily install it on your own machine if you want to run it locally or work on development
