Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

You can try it on github for free using the "." Key of your hardware keyboard in any git to open it in a Microsoft hosted web instance of VS code. Works even on iPad.
Edit: Oh dear, i guess you meant this by „code server“ sorry did not read to the end/and the beginning not properly, lol.
Thanks for the reply, actually I wasn't aware of that functionality in Github, that's fantastic! If only I could have something similar selfhosted... :)
You can self host VS Code.
Yes, I've tried already that option (code server) and unfortunately I cannot use the "Remote" / "Dev Containers" extension with it. If you know how to do that, please let me know.
You're looking for Coder.
You can even set up your DE with the bits required to build your apps.
Thanks a lot, great suggestion! I'll play around with it and let you know :)
This looks interesting indeed, but there is some unclarity on which features are behind the enterprise edition paywall. If you try it out please let us know what your impression is.
I’m not sure if any of this information is useful, code-server doesn’t support installing the Remote-SSH extension. There are alternative methods to connect to environments, I personally think Remote-SSH is ideal.
Thanks, that was an option I had on table, just wanted to check if there was a "simpler" solution
sshfs and mount the remote fs locally. then you can use any editor/IDE you like.
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.
Another alternative approach could be Distrobox, where you can set up isolated environments for your specific needs.
Couldn't you just use a container or a VM with ssh?
Might be worth a look.
I had a look at it but it doesn't seem to be able to create isolated dev environments on its own. Is it the case?
