The Depends a bit on how you define security but it is true that context does not 'do well' in restricted environments. The luatex executable actually has a --safer switch (a la ghostscript) but if it would be turned on, context mkiv wouldn't work. > In my opinion, the only options for live.contextgarden.net are: > a) just don't care, if there is a problem, restore from backup this is the current approach, and restore hasn't been needed yet (afaik). > b) chroot jail possible new approach, but I suspect it won't be implemented until after a). > c) virtual machine with virtual disk in non-persistent mode (at boot time > the disk is always a fresh installation) i doubt this could be made to work as-is (contextgarden.net itself is a fairly limited virtual machine) > - perhaps some other ideas... A variation of c) may well be possible. Actually, if we can find funding we could even move contextgarden.net + context/maps.aanhet.net to a dedicated server. I could easily arrange hardware and a hosting spot for that, but we would have to set up some kind of paypal construct to get the finances sorted out. Patrick, Mojca, Hans, if there is interest is such a solution, just let me know, and I will investigate further.
