I really got it wrong. I guess, I guess I just want 9front running every where. One team runs struts, another payara, and another flask. The eco system is just different. I certainly don't want to share my file system with them. But It would be nice to have stats running on each linux system, and maybe setup a listener to do something interesting and share or expose something on the linux side and not have a qemu with 9front.iso running on each linux system.
