devpod is quite nice for this https://devpod.sh/ https://devpod.sh/

  Just tried it... and it says it's client-only, but when I try to run the SSH provider using my Rapberry Pi it says it needs `docker` to be installed on it :/. So it's not just client-only, is it?

    Isn't that what client-only means?
    • brabel 1y ago
      Like, oh you need to install this extremely heavy tool on your server... but yeah it's still client-only, trust me?
      • adastra22 1y ago
        No, client-only as in this is the client only. You need a corresponding server. Are you thinking of "runs locally"?
        • brabel 1y ago
          Mate, if you need to install something on a server how the hell can it be called client-only??? eMacs is an example of client-only perhaps, with TRAMP as it works purely on top of SSH , though you could argue it still isn’t client-only as it requires the SSH server to be enabled… so I thought the SSH connector for this would also work the same way but it also requires a full freaking Docker install not just SSH. This is totally misleading.

      No, client-only means Devpod is contrasting itself to Coder, which requires a central server to orchestrate the containers it creates. Devpod does not. It does still have dependencies, though, among them Docker.

    It's client-only because if you install it on a machine with Docker, you don't need a server to use devcontainers. Docker is required to use devcontainers, so there's really no getting around the Docker requirement
