termux-packages VS Code-Server

If you don’t have Termux installed, download it from the official source. Once installed, open Termux and update it with the following command:

No, but yes.

I just installed the package called `racket` from Termux's upstream, and it seems that they're using racket-minimal for that. But of a gotcha, but at least it doesn't seem like there's a bug.

But Android 13+ supports rootless pKVM VMs, which podman-machine should be able to run containers in; but only APK-installed binaries are blessed with the necessary extended filesystem attributes to exec on Android 4.4+ with SELinux in enforcing mode.

> The protected kernel-based virtual machine (pKVM) is built upon the Linux KVM hypervisor, which has been extended with the ability to restrict access to the payloads running in guest virtual machines marked ‘protected’ at the time of creation.

> KVM/arm64 supports different execution modes depending on the availability of certain CPU features, namely, the Virtualization Host Extensions (VHE) (ARMv8.1 and later).

Not from PlayStore, but apparently everyone has English reading comprehension problems and wants to write a comment anyway.

But hasn't Coder.com[0] built a business around exactly that?

Coder | https://coder.com/ | Multiple roles | Multiple locations | Full-time

Coder is an open-source, remote-first software company. Our CDE moves development from local machines to cloud infrastructure, reducing onboarding time while speeding up builds, tests, and workspace configuration for individuals and large dev teams. The developers that we support work at companies like Discord, Dropbox, and Palantir.

There’s also code-server by Coder, which you can just run on your own server and open in browser directly. It’s also open source (most tunneling features in VSCode aren’t). https://github.com/coder/code-server

There’s a one-click setup for it in Lunni, a Docker dashboard I’ve been working on (shameless plug): https://lunni.dev/

A recent issue I've run into is that since I started working my first big boy job, I've been unable to download or install any software. I already foresaw this, though, as the main reason I use Obsidian (other than how great it is as a note-taking app) is that all the notes are stored in a very transparent directory structure as markdown files. I simply spun up a code-server instance, cloned my notes repository, and was off to the races.

Our initial foray into remote development was with Coder. We set it up using Docker within a large Linux container (LXC). However, as more developers spun up new environments, performance began to degrade.

I don't think you can do anything serious locally.

IMO, the best option is hosting a VS Code server [0] on a linux desktop and using Tailscale to connect to it via the browser. At that point you have a real compute environment and a pretty usable IDE.

But the screen and keyboard were too small so I gave it up.
