Is there any real alternative to C9 (self-host or no, I don't really care) that isn't a part of AWS/GCE/<cloud provider here>? I've already tried C9 (hosted and

  I think Nitrous.io had intended to open source their tools but that doesn't seem to have happened: https://github.com/nitrous-io https://github.com/nitrous-io

    Nitrous's website doesn't even work anymore, so that seems highly unlikely.

      Looks like they shut down in late '16: https://techcrunch.com/2016/10/31/cloud-development-platform-nitrous-io-shuts-down/5652/ https://techcrunch.com/2016/10/31/cloud-development-platform...

        I've been blasting PeteJKim with DMs and @'s anywhere I can find him but I don't think he's going to open source it. It's a shame -- I had only just discovered Nitrous and switched to it when they shut it down. It really was the best solution. Open sourcing the tech would probably take a ton of work, though. Probably a lot of proprietary tech. I wish they'd at least open source Nitrogen, the Atom plugin, even with missing bits.

  This includes a c9-like project/workspace managing server as well as IDE: http://eclipse.org/che/getting-started/ http://eclipse.org/che/getting-started/

    I find the setup to be a bit of a pain: - Can't (easily?) use a Docker volume instead of mounting a directory from the host into the container - No real auth out of the box(?) - I get why it works like it does, but I don't really want to set up KeyCloak for a single application only - Doesn't seem to have Elixir support, but maybe I've not looked hard enough Mainly just my own pickiness, I think.

      - Copy pasting this command will start Che on most platforms: `docker run --rm -ti -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v ~/.che:/data eclipse/che start`. We can't avoid mounting the docker socket but you are right we could probably avoid asking to provide a specific host folder (i.e. `~/.che`). But the downside of not providing a host folder would be that users won't have access to Che configuration files. Do you think that running command like `curl -sSL https://get.che.eclipse.org/ https://get.che.eclipse.org/ | sh ` would be better from a user perspective? - We currently distribute Che in two flavours: single and multi user. Single user is the default one and if you run the command above you will run single user Che. No need to setup KeyCloak :-) - I don't think we support Elixir yet but that's definitely something we would like to do. Do you know if there is any reliable Elixir language server?

        I think the goal should be getting rid of all of the parameters so people who've used docker before don't need to look up how to start it and people who've not used docker before get a more legible command to paste.

  When did you try it? I tried it many years ago, and it was cool, but also kind of sucked as any new IDE does. I recently spent a few minutes with it after the AWS announcement and it feels a lot more stable and less flaky. If you haven't tried it in a while, give it a spin and see how it works out.

    Lack of completions outside of JS/PHP/CSS/HTML and linting outside of JS/CSS (both according to the website) is a non-starter for me.
