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.


Web based IDE suggestion [SOLVED]
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](https://infosec.pub/u/cooopsspace) ) ! Basically with it I can create ephemeral development environments with the toolchain I want that contains instances of code-server.

Until one week ago I was using an old Samsung A20 with good results. I moved to a mini PC as I wanted to host Immich server and I felt it was too much for the phone (it might not be the case though…)

A quick extract from an old post of mine on what I was running: https://lemmy.world/comment/354199

Software: Termux (android app) SSH (OpenSSH in Termux) Rclone (in Termux) Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Prowlarr (in proot-distro) Transmission (in proot-distro) Kavitha (in proot-distro) Podgrab (in proot-distro) Ombi (in proot-distro) ntfy (in proot-distro) Filebrowser (in proot-distro) Vaultwarden (in proot-distro) Homer with lighttpd (in proot-distro)

TLDR: Go for it! Use Termux with proot-distro to avoid headaches


With Armbian installed, you can offload services that require to be always active on the box and create an “on-off” schedule for the homelab. This will save quite some electricity usage especially if your homelab is beefy
