Code Server (Vs code online)

[murgero]

@girish

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?

[murgero]

@chilipp Currently still under development. You're more than welcome to test it out if you would like!

[Chilipp]

@murgero I will! Thanks

[Chilipp]

@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?

[murgero]

@chilipp I think issues on github make more sense (at least until it becomes a proper cloudron package)

Hi!

Would this help?

@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.

similar discussion in the "openvscode" project https://github.com/gitpod-io/openvscode-server/discussions/99

[Enabl.ist]

@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.

Microsoft has joined the game as well https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2021/10/20/vscode-dev

@murgero jw if you still have a repo for this as the original link is dead =/

[murgero]

@plusone-nick my github has a repo, status is unknown as it's been a long time since I've touched it

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]

@ajtatum My repo above is able to be installed - I still haven't updated it tho.

[ajtatum]

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

[murgero]

@ajtatum eventually when I get around to updating it and adding the automated tests I plan to submit it to cloudron but life has been getting in the way

put one together https://github.com/c0decafe/cloudron-codeserver

@c0decafe this looks awesome If you can throw in a LICENSE , I can move it over to our gitlab for publishing.

[murgero]

I have a working package ready to go on the gitlab linked in the OP above somewhere. @c0decafe what does yours do differently than mine? Though I do like your repo certainly looks cleaner than mine lol

[girish]

@murgero oh, i missed yours. It seems is extended over LAMP app but @c0decafe is better because it's from scratch and only has the necessary things. Also, it seems your repo installs things like .net which @c0decafe does not. Not sure if those are needed or not.
