code-server

Install code-server (https://github.com/cdr/code-server) on a server, and using it in your phone's browser to develop small web apps (works well in landscape mode with 6 -6.7 inch phones) If you have a powerful processor and adequate RAM - you can do almost any thing that you do on desktop/pc

I assume they are talking about something like https://github.com/cdr/code-server . It’s vscode in your web browser. Run it locally in your dev environment and setup your web server to proxy vscode.your domain.tld to it and boom, you have vscode running in your dev environment that anyone with a link can access. The fastest way to set it up with tls+auth is probably something like https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/code-server + caddy configured with basicauth.

vscode can be run outside of electron as a website. https://github.com/cdr/code-server

I had been running the self-hosted version of Cloud9 back before Amazon acquired it. Once they did, development for that version was dropped and you can no longer use the current version outside of AWS. No bueno. Eventually I found code-server and now I run that in disposable containers on my home server. It's based on vscode and has been working pretty well for me. https://github.com/cdr/code-server

Note that this is not "actual" VSCode, but its fork code-server, that takes VSCode and modifies it to run in a browser. https://github.com/cdr/code-server This package just installs code-server on Google Colab, whatever that is. Hosted VSCode instances that Microsoft has on Azure and in beta on GitHub are a different thing and are not open source.

I already package some of the toolchain I use in containers because vendors tends to depends on old version of libc or curl and never update.. After watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-enIM4x-KPA I I want to add it to my toolchain containers and have everything in one place. I wonder how it will be priced by GH or using alternatives like: https://github.com/cdr/code-server But since most of C developers are now using vscode if the performance are fine this could change the way embedded software development tools are distributed. [Edit] the pricing is now public and looks fair: Instance Type (Linux) Per-hour rate Basic (2 cores, 4GB RAM, 32 GB SSD) $0.085 Standard (4 cores, 8 GB RAM, 32 GB SSD) $0.169 Premium (8 cores, 16 GB RAM, 32 GB SSD) $0.339

Another cool thing about VSCode is it can be run in browser [1] now and this browser based VS code is available on GCP[2], AWS[3] and Azure[4] as well if you want to give it a try but note that there is usage cost in addition to the infrastructure usage for the cloud vm.

I use code-server[0] to access VSCode on my iPad in Safari, and it works pretty well. There are some rough edges, but (aside from the better shortcut integration and UI polish) I don't think a native app is going to provide a lot benefit because I can't execute arbitrary code on the iPad anyway. You're going to end up with a mostly remote experience either way. [0]: https://github.com/cdr/code-server

AFAIK This is a bug that was introduced earlier this year when WebKit changed how scroll events are handled https://github.com/cdr/code-server/issues/1455 If you can add a shortcut to the dev environment to your homescreen it’ll load the app without safaris control elements which comes relatively close to fullscreen. (Not sure if this will work the way codespaces is built)

There is also coder.com which provides more or less the same thing (running Visual Studio Code in the browser). The code is actually open source and you can run it on your own machine: https://github.com/cdr/code-server Hint: Set the following environment variables before starting code-server to get access to the official Visual Studio Code extension marketplace. This is against the TOS of VSCode, but some extensions are missing/broken on the alternative marketplaces. SERVICE_URL=https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery ITEM_URL=https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items

Actually, you can self-host VS Code on a server and access it via browser: https://github.com/cdr/code-server

https://github.com/cdr/code-server is an interesting way of running VSCode in the browser.

There's been recent discussion about TypeFox and Coder combining efforts on Open VSX after the transfer to Eclipse Foundation is complete. https://github.com/cdr/code-server/issues/1473

code-server also lets you customize the marketplace URL at runtime. https://github.com/cdr/code-server/blob/master/doc/FAQ.md#ho... SERVICE_URL=https://open-vsx.org/vscode/gallery ITEM_URL=https://open-vsx.org/vscode/item So you can use open-vsx, ours or Microsoft's (with the caveat that you would violate their license).
