I���m working on having a telepharo image based on the pharo minimal image. With the help of pavel and Allex I prepared a usable artefact on github that can be used. Both images are based on Pharo8.

The release file 

https://github.com/noha/pharo-minimal/releases/download/0.1/telepharo.zip

contains a 32 bit minimal telepharo server image. It is 12,1 MB in size. And there is a 64 bit full pharo telepharo client image in the archive that can be used to connect to the minimal server one. I did not include the vms in the archive. These you need to install separately.

To run the server do

$ ./pharo server.image eval --no-quit "TlpRemoteUIManager registerOnPort: 40423���

The client.image can be started as usual. In a playground do

remotePharo := TlpRemoteIDE connectTo: (TCPAddress ip: #[127 0 0 1] port: 40423)
remotePharo openPlayground.

To be connected to the minimal server image. Further details on telepharo you can find at

https://github.com/pharo-ide/TelePharo

Further relases of this will be made available at

https://github.com/noha/pharo-minimal/releases

I���m planning to make a pharothings release available as well when the telepharo release is considered stable.

Hope you like it,

Norbert
