nvim-remote-containers VS goneovim

Is something like this even possible? I've seen https://github.com/jamestthompson3/nvim-remote-containers, but I can't really tell if this is what I'm looking for or not

How do you achieve the devcontainer experience without any VS Code? I am aware of plugins like https://github.com/jamestthompson3/nvim-remote-containers and https://github.com/esensar/nvim-dev-container however I didn't figure them out and they don't seem very active.

How about Nvim Remonte Container?

This looks like a valid solution: https://github.com/jamestthompson3/nvim-remote-containers also you can try and set a language server inside the container, use the host network and have coc listening to that server.

This what you looking for? https://github.com/jamestthompson3/nvim-remote-containers

have you seen nvim-remote-containers? I haven't tried it yet but think this is the closest thing to what you're looking for

I found jamestthompson3/nvim-remote-containers package, but I am not sure if it is something that I am looking for.

yeah, looks like https://github.com/akiyosi/goneovim

This sounds like goneovim

fvim and goneovim have support for gui-widgets.nvim which is a sort of protocol to define images and let Neovim GUIs display them.

but you can use a GUI like https://github.com/akiyosi/goneovim or https://github.com/neovide/neovide#remote-tcp-support

If you're fine with leaving the terminal, Goneovim has it built-in

Neovim in a terminal can only display monospaced characters. However there are GUIs for Neovim and Goneovim used to have a markdown preview.

I think the main thing now is probably waiting for one of the nvim GUIs to develop the appropriate features. Goneovim looks like it's getting there and may already be good enough for your needs. E.g. you can break any nvim window (floats, splits etc) into a separate external desktop window.

GUI - per se it runs in the terminal but there are GUIs you can use, e.g.: https://github.com/akiyosi/goneovim

you can start a headless neovim inside the container with nvim --listen 127.0.0.1:7777 --headless and then use something like goneovim (https://github.com/akiyosi/goneovim) to connect to this instance. all your tools (npm, linters etc) will be inside the container

Instead, Nvim provides an RPC protocol that may be implemented by external GUIs. For example, there exists a plugin that embeds Nvim into Firefox when editing textboxes, GUIs that leverage Nvim's multigrid support to support smooth scrolling, translucent popups, minimaps, etc. such as Uivonim, Goneovim and Neovide, and more.
