I’m starting to work with JavaScript, and I plan to explore frameworks. While I currently use Visual Studio Code on my Mac, Windows, and Linux laptops, I’m considering the idea of self-hosting a Visual Studio Code server on my own VPS.(debian server).

I’ve also discovered the utility of Docker containers for my projects, allowing me to set up environments with the necessary tools like Node.js. This way, I can easily manage my development environment.

So, I’m curious, what’s your setup like? I’m trying to avoid the hassle of switching between three different computers or clients. I believe that if I can access my VPS and start working on my code, it would greatly streamline my development process.

    I have vscode but on my os and then connect via the remote extension. Works well.

    For docker, I’d rather go with VM if you want isolation from one project to another. They are easier to snapshot and easier to reason around for development in my opinion

      Have the same setup for VSCode. I use it to edit files and start/stop Docker containers. Of course it can do much more. Very convenient. Maybe even more convenient than Portainer.

      thank you for sharing,

      although I don’t have my Promox server (dell thin client i5) died a month a go. I would do VM or LXC container. My local VPS is just an old laptop core duo 2 and raspberry pi 2 and doing the snapshots would be easier but I’m stuck at the moment with those options.
