Code Server (Vs code online)
-
@murgero @dswd what are the extra packages that are pre-installed? If it's not too big, maybe we can compromise and just install it all in one. It's more important to be useful to more number people than be minimal (of course, everything has a limit..).
I wonder if the right approach here is something like JupyterHub. What that project does is to have a "workspace manager" with a login screen. When logged in, it spins up a new "notebook docker container" for each user. This way the user can install whatever packages they want in that docker image. See https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub . I guess in our case if the size is limiting, maybe we should write a VsCodeHub which when logged in, spins off a vs code container for each user. This makes the app properly multi-user.

My package includes a ton of extra packages to cover the most popular programming and scripting choices. (Some are actually already in the Cloudron base image, which I use.)
- GOLANG
- PHP7.4 (PHP8.0 will be included soon!)
- Python
- PowerShell
- DotNet Core (C#, VB.NET, etc) (.NET Full will be included soon as well since full supports Linux now I believe)
- R
- R-lang
- NodeJS (Updated to latest)
I am probably missing a couple but I wanted to make sure a lot of the popular stuff was covered here.

Hey everyone! I just did want to ask about the current progress on this package. Is there already a roadmap for an official release in the app store? Or is this still under heavy development?
-
@chilipp Currently still under development. You're more than welcome to test it out if you would like!

@murgero thanks a lot for your work! Works like a charm
I have some suggestions for improvement. Would you prefer discussion on Github via Issues and PRs or here in this forum?

@enabl-ist was curious if this is related to "code server", but it seems to be something newly done without any relations to the existing project.

@fbartels indeed it looks like two different projects, with (kind of) the same goal... What I read is that the gitpod version is more simplified in features. I haven't had time to test it myself, just wanted to let the community know of this similar project.

@murgero jw if you still have a repo for this as the original link is dead =/
@plusone-nick my github has a repo, status is unknown as it's been a long time since I've touched it
https://github.com/mitchellurgero
https://github.com/mitchellurgero/cloudron-vscode-package
Note: this uses an old version of vscode and needs to be updated.

So, this thread seems to have died and wanted to revive it as it would be great to have vs-code online be a part of Cloudron. For me, I look to Cloudron to be a platform that hosts publicly facing apps, but have the security with Cloudron. This is something that can be easy to install on Home Assistant or my TrueNAS Scale system, but for it to function it's best it needs to be accessible over HTTPS... and that's where the problem comes in. It may not be "privacy focused" but it's one of the most commonly used development tools and it would be nice to have VS Code IDE available anywhere, whether from my desktop or tablet. Having it within Cloudron would be super helpful.

@murgero I appreciate it, but I'd prefer an updated version and it be officially supported/maintained by Cloudron.
