Code Server (Vs code online)

[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

@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

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.

@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.

@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
