    You can set this up with even less customization. Here's my snippet for doing so [0]. In this way, the default rule for all containers that are part of compose projects gets assigned a subdomain (service.compose-stack.lvh.me).

    However, even with my tweaks, the overall solution is still limited. Because it's not on "localhost", the browser considers it an "insecure context" unless you also set up local HTTPS.

    I’ve started using Remote OSS [0] with some custom scripts to install and run the remote code host. Works great on remote servers and even with devcontainers on remote hosts. You can use a script like the one here to handle automatically installing and setting up the tunnel [1]. I’m working on a PR that adds a way to automatically run custom scripts to set up the tunnels as well [1].

  • Antonmedv/walk: Terminal file manager
    8 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 22 Aug 2023
    I built a "Control-P" feature for fish that would also be a good trigger for this tool. Basically, you activate the shortcut to run the program, then it will change the directory based on the selection, but restore your original command line after. So you can be halfway through a command before realizing you are in the wrong place. Also, can cd with one fewer keystroke. My version is at [0], but obviously modifiable for other tools like this one.

  • LazyVim

    FWIW, I still use regular vim with ale [0] and it does everything I want. It formats files with Black and isort, shows ruff and pyright errors, supports jumping to definitions, and has variable information available on hover. I have collected my config over the past several years, but I pretty rarely encounter errors with it.

  • Improving Shell Workflows with Fzf

    I think the first example should have been done with direnv rather than having a manual step, but I supposed to each their own. The other examples are all pretty neat.

    I recently set up fasd, which I recommend, but I tied it together with fzf, which makes it really nice.
