I've been trying to build a remote dev setup using code-server [1] on a 2017-ish iPad Pro 10.5" and a Logitech K380 keyboard for when travelling and when on the indoor bike. I have code-server running in a big fat docker container with language SDKs, utilities, fish shell with custom prompt, etc. installed as well, and it works great in a desktop browser, but I can't quite get it to be fully usable on the iPad. It seems this still has a bunch of very rough edges. Using code-server in iPad Safari means Cmd+N etc. won't work and also losing very precious display real estate to Safari's UI. Adding it to the home screen and launching from there solves that, but now switching to Safari and back causes keyboard input to stop registering at all in code-server. The Serverediter [2] app doesn't have that issue, but its UI and parts of the code-server UI will jump around for a second when Cmd-Tab-ing to it, which is pretty unnerving. Then there's connectivity: Apparently background SSH tunnels get killed by iOS after a while. Serverediter has its own SSH client, but port-forwarding any other ports than code-server's doesn't seem to work. Not being able to expose a running web service on my local device makes lots of things infeasible. Maybe I'd need a separate VPN between the code-server machine and my iPad? But that adds more complexity to an already quite complex setup. And finally, https with self-signed certs isn't exactly a walk in the park with iPads (I can't use letsencrypt), but without it I believe the clipboard won't work right. I realize there are SaaS offers that will make some (or most?) of these issues go away, but those don't seem to be all that customizable, and since I'd use this for personal projects that don't earn any money, keeping costs down is a priority as well (so if I can self-host on hardware I already have, I'd rather do that). So while I totally get the appeal, I really wonder how others make it work for them. It doesn't seem to be quite as straight-forward as the blog posts made it look. 1: https://github.com/cdr/code-server https://github.com/cdr/code-server 2: https://servediter.app/ https://servediter.app/
