code-server

code-server, instead of VSCode. I can build my own podman image on top of it with whatever dev tools I need for whatever languages I'm working with, and if I have to install something weird or something breaks I can just restart the container. Especially on my work machine that isn't Linux, I have this running in a VM and can just use in my browser and don't have to jump through hoops to get the dev environment I want. On my personal instance I also use it for automating building stuff from source. Before I had this, I just had build tools on pretty much every single machine I was building for and it was a hot mess. https://github.com/coder/code-server

Instead you can use https://github.com/coder/code-server, which is really vscode running in your browser. You then get all extensions, etc.

I tend to use https://github.com/coder/code-server#code-server for my remote development needs.

Just VSCode, or more specifically, code-server (https://github.com/coder/code-server)

But hasn't Coder.com[0] built a business around exactly that? [0] https://github.com/coder/code-server

By "VSCode" here you mean something like a HTTP API for file read/write[0] that can be used from VSCode, I think? VSCode also can be made into a web app[1], but I don't see that happening here.

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/

How would you compare the three options, - https://github.com/gitpod-io/openvscode-server - https://github.com/coder/code-server - https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia I'm not sure if I'm reading it right, but the contributor graph looks like it's only 1-2 people working on each of the projects.

I'd guess that there was a mixup: https://github.com/gitpod-io/openvscode-server For what it's worth, we have been using code-server instead in prod (prod being internal) for over a year now. https://github.com/coder/code-server https://coder.com/docs/code-server/FAQ#whats-the-difference-...

I don't think you can do anything serious locally. IMO, the best option is hosting a VS Code server [0] on a linux box 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. [0] https://github.com/coder/code-server

Hosted vs code server is what I used to use: https://github.com/coder/code-server They've added support in blink as well which is my favorite iOS purchase for productivity on my iPad https://blink.sh/

I use remote development environment on my VPS using code-server ( https://github.com/coder/code-server ). It is quite easy to setup.

Here's a sampling of stuff I've semi-recently encountered on Github that all spy on you by default. For some, it's undocumented, for others it's a minor subsection in the docs. (Some of them are source-available not free, I didn't keep track as I collected the URLs.) https://github.com/zed-industries/zed https://github.com/microsoft/vscode https://github.com/keystonejs/keystone https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine https://github.com/manticoresoftware/manticoresearch/ https://github.com/coder/code-server https://github.com/loft-sh/devpod https://github.com/quickwit-oss/quickwit https://github.com/rilldata/rill-developer/ https://github.com/hocus-dev/hocus https://github.com/firezone/firezone Here's a write-up of how bad it gets -- it's pretty obnoxious: https://www.roboleary.net/tools/2022/04/

> Is there any web-based version of VSCode other than VSCode.dev or any open source alternative? This maybe? https://github.com/coder/code-server
