🐧 Linux Mastery - Virtual Linux Lab

A full-stack web application designed for students to learn Linux commands through a real-time, browser-based terminal. Each user session spawns an isolated Ubuntu Docker container, providing a safe and authentic playground for learning.

---

🚀 Features

• Authentic Terminal: Powered by xterm.js, providing a professional terminal look and feel.

• Isolated Sandboxing: Uses Docker containers to ensure student actions do not affect the host system.

• Real-Time Interaction: Zero-latency communication using WebSockets (socket.io).

• Resource Management: Automatically cleans up containers on disconnect using the --rm flag and explicit cleanup logic.

• Responsive UI: Styled with Tailwind CSS v4 and Framer Motion.
