Hello everyone,
I’m looking for a web based IDE that can create isolated development environments as you could do in Koding or with VSCode with the “Remote” extension.
My use case is quite simple, I want to play around with different projects and languages without installing anything directly on my machine (docker containers FTW) to reduce conflicts between packages and garbage.
The “web based” requirement is because I have a server with plenty of capacity to take care of this task and I’d like to keep as clean as possible my PC.
I’ve tried already code server but I cannot install the “Remote” extension to have it create containers on demand.
Any suggestion or help is more than welcome! :D
Edit:
Thanks everyone for your great suggestions and idea, much appreciated!
It took (and it’s taking) me some time to explore the options you mentioned and the most aligned with my needs is Coder - thanks @cooopsspace@infosec.pub ) !
Basically with it I can create ephemeral development environments with the toolchain I want that contains instances of code-server.
Thanks but that would not fit my case as I’d have to install locally all the toolchain. As much as possible I’d like to have everything on a remote server.

sshfs and mount the remote fs locally. then you can use any editor/IDE you like.

Another alternative approach could be Distrobox, where you can set up isolated environments for your specific needs.
