  • barrier

    Open-source KVM software

  • This was by far my most preferred method. Synergy (and its open source clone Barrier) is a keyboard and mouse sharing software, that enable a single pair of peripherals to work on many different machines at the same time. Unlike VS Code remote (or SSH) only, using Synergy you are able to actually use every device’s UI as well, and coupled to VS Code Remote, you can basically use “any” number of machines the same way you’ll be using one.

  • docker

    Docker - the open-source application container engine (by microsoft)

  • During specific use cases, I sometimes encounter issues with port forwarding that force me to get back to my laptop’s keyboard, for example when using Docker with Traefik, VS Code is sometimes confused about what port to forward and where to forward it to.

  • traefik-dockerized

    Dockerized Deployment of Traefik 2

  • synergy-core

    Open source core of Synergy, the cross-platform keyboard and mouse sharing tool (Windows, macOS, Linux)

  • This was by far my most preferred method. Synergy (and its open source clone Barrier) is a keyboard and mouse sharing software, that enable a single pair of peripherals to work on many different machines at the same time.
