I’ve been trying something new for the last few months. I brought a min-spec M1 Air and I’ve been using a hetzner dedicated server as my development machine.
I run all user-interfaces locally, and use unison to keep files in sync. VSCode remote dev works well, but I’m more of a PyCharm person myself and their remove dev is just picking up. Docker just runs natively on the server.
But it has been working very well with unison. I run eternal terminal with tmux, so my terminal is always available. Local bandwidth requirements are low and I get a 6-core 64GB dev machine.
It’s actually been very pleasant. I have barely any dev tools locally (not even home brew, which I do not miss at all).
- freetime2 5y agoCan I ask what the monthly hosting costs are?
- adamcharnock 5y agoIt’s about €30/month, but it is very much a business expense, so it comes out of my company account (I’m a freelancer) You could probably grab a server for a bit less from their server auction.
- gedw99 5y agothats a really good idea. I have so many docker and docker compose things to run and the mac is just not powerful enough. I use hetzner already too. Do you happen to have an makefiles or scripts that set up this on your mac that you can share ?
