    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/

  • Live Syncing to a Git Repository with a VS Code Extension
    8 projects | dev.to | 9 Feb 2025
    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.

  • Shared remote development environment in our research group
    1 project | dev.to | 21 Dec 2024
    As I was looking for a solution to the problems we faced with the shared workstations, I found Coder (https://coder.com), an open-source platform that allows you to create and manage development environments in the cloud or using your own servers. At that moment, I started building an infrastructure to solve the problems we faced with the shared workstations. At the end, the infrastructure looked like the following, and it has been working well for us for the past year.
