I've been eyeing code-server in docker images for a while for preconfigured one-off IDEs for use in presentations, something I can easily archive together with the slides, I guess this would be even better given it's closer to actual VSCode still. Would this be usable on an iPad with an external keyboard?

Within 24 hours of a pull-request merging into microsoft/vscode a new release is done automatically thus you now have the ability to run vscode as a server on your own computers/servers using the exact same vscode bits as used by Gitpod and GitHub Codespaces. > Would this be usable on an iPad with an external keyboard? Yes, my primary development machine these days is an iPad w/magic keyboard (pictured at the bottom of https://ghuntley.com/internet/ https://ghuntley.com/internet/) and openvscode-server follows the vscode bits used by GitHub Codespaces and Gitpod.
- mbreese 5y agoThat’s good to know. I was tracking iPad specific keyboard bugs in code-server most of last summer. Not being able to use ⌘-z or ⌘-c was a bit of an issue... Now, if that's working again, I’ll have to check it out. I was really trying to replicate my dev environment on an iPad w/o using screen sharing/VNC.
- minimaxir 5y agoNote that you probably should be using VS Code on the iPad in PWA mode, which mitigates most of the usability bugs.
- watersb 5y agoFWIW, vscode as hosted by GitHub code spaces is hopeless on my ancient iPad 4, but is usable on the 2020 Amazon Kindle Fire HD that I got on sale for $100.
