Just a thought, that it would be cool to be able to download Drush aliases for the sites that I have spun up on simplytest.me, similar to how Pantheon do it, or have some instructions on how this could be configured locally (if possible).

hmm, I don't see how drush aliases make sense as long as there's no way for users to connect to the database or ssh into a sandbox remotely. Or am I missing something?

I personally never used drush aliases and just gave the documentation a quick glance.

I was just hoping for a way to enable modules and set variables etc via Drush rather than clicking around in the UI.

Pantheon sites don't need access to the DB directly, but does need SSH access to connect. If simplytest.me doesn't have that, then I guess that Drush aliases won't work.

As simplytest.me is open to anyone it would be quite complicated to *securely* give anonymous users SSH access.

Even if it's only LXD containers or even VMs, I still see quite some potential for abuse.

Not without reason every PHP function giving access to spawning Processes/running commands had to be removed (mostly to stop people from trying to mine bitcoin on simplytest.me servers)

Closing for now, feel free to reopen if you see a good solution around these concerns
