Free VS Code Workaround - pete - 01-23-2020

Hey guys, I figure this may be interesting to a few folks so wanted to share.

New to ARM and finding things can be a little trickier than I expected, so when I was setting up a dev environment I wanted to keep things simple and have my code compiled and running in an x64 machine.

So long story short I ran up an always free remote VPS and installed a virtual IDE there I can get at through the browser which will then be accessible across any of the images I boot on the PBP Smile


Quick steps are:

1) Get a free VPS - currently Oracle will give anyone two free linux boxes (plus DB plus other stuff) forever, so I like this option (cloud.oracle.com/free) although I'm sure other options are available.
2) SSH into the remote box and install docker | docker-compose
3) Setup an a record on your domain e.g. vs.*** points to server IP.
4) Here's the docker compose setup I use to run the container with SSL behind an NGINX reverse proxy.


Code:
version: '2' services:  proxy:    image: jwilder/nginx-proxy    container_name: proxy    restart: unless-stopped    labels:      com.github.jrcs.letsencrypt_nginx_proxy_companion.nginx_proxy: "true"    volumes:      - /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro      - certs:/etc/nginx/certs:rw      - vhost.d:/etc/nginx/vhost.d      - html:/usr/share/nginx/html      - ./uploadsize.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/uploadsize.conf:ro    ports:      - "80:80"      - "443:443"    networks:      - "default"      - "proxy-tier"  proxy-letsencrypt:    image: jrcs/letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion    container_name: letsencrypt    restart: unless-stopped    environment:      - NGINX_PROXY_CONTAINER=proxy    volumes:      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro    volumes_from:      - "proxy"    depends_on:      - "proxy"    networks:      - "default"      - "proxy-tier"  portainer:    image: portainer/portainer    container_name: portainer    restart: always    environment:      - VIRTUAL_HOST=dock.YOURDOMAIN      - LETSENCRYPT_HOST=dock.YOURDOMAIN      - LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL=hi@YOURDOMAIN    volumes:      - ./portainer/:/data      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock    ports:      - "9000:9000"  code-server:    image: linuxserver/code-server    container_name: code-server    restart: unless-stopped    environment:      - PUID=1000      - PGID=1000      - TZ=Australia/Perth      - VIRTUAL_HOST=vs.YOURDOMAIN      - LETSENCRYPT_HOST=vs.YOURDOMAIN      - LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL=hi@YOURDOMAIN      - PASSWORD=YOURPASSWORD      - SUDO_PASSWORD=YOURSUDO    volumes:      - /codeserver/config:/config    ports:      - 8443:8443 volumes:  certs:  vhost.d:  html: networks:  proxy-tier:


e' voila!

Ideally I was going to run the head melted vs code locally and then just ssh to the server as a remote host, but this currently isn't supported in the hed melted version as the feature is pre-release in VS code.... If anyone knows the workaround to that I'd be interested - as that feels like a cleaner approach!

Head melted works fine for me: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=8598

Can you use the remote-SSH extensions? These load but don't work on my Manjaro & head melted install?
