Self-Hosted Main

sshfs-win is something if you don't like vscode.

Usually on the remote i use lunarvim(neovim but with some default settings and plugins).

Other than that I usually have everything as a git repo, so i edit on my local/remote ide(pycharm, vscode or vscode server). I edit the files push them to the repo and then i just pull the files on my host.

I know this adds some steps to edit a simple file, but the version control etc can be a massive advantage depending on what you do.

iterm

ls

I use git to manage my compose files, manifests and config files etc.

I believe Github Actions has a docker workflow, not sure how to use it, but it might be worth looking at as a CI/CD to auto-deploy your containers once they are merged to main.

I use .gitignore for my persistent volume folders if the container will write to them.

For the most part I work directly on the server and use nano. Occasionally offload to VSC if it's a bit more intensive.

I use VSC as my main Dev program at work though, I'm interested to know what you don't like about it?

I use Ansible+git to push changes to remote servers. And use ssh+vim sometimes too.

Depends, but mostly ssh and vi, vim, or neovim depending on what was the default install.

College habits die hard, and I did 4 years of college work with vi/vim.

I usually use vim/nano directly. I don't see the need to edit file directly very often.

Following good DevOps practice, I usually push server configuration with an ansible playbook and most application are running on Docker. The number of time I need to edit config file is very minimal.

But I would understand if ansible deployment is a bit too far for your self hosted need.

I usually do Notepad++ over SFTP

I also spun up a code-server instance with access to my configs if I don't have access to Notepad++.

SSH to shell in. vi to edit text.

MobaxTerm

While i was using Windows - MobaxTerm

Now that i switched to MINT - Tabby

filebrowser

• windows - mobaXterm
• linux - nnn file manager on the machine, with fzf plugin, and micro editor

I connect via winscp to browse files and it has an editor but you can have it open files using whichever program you want. I stick with VS Code.

For sure not best practice, but I have a SMB share on my servers for the Docker folder and mount it on my dev machine.

Recently switched to a dev VM on my hypervisor, which has VSCode Server from Coder running. It also has the different shares mounted. Now I can VPN in from anywhere, switch on my dev VM and do whatever needs doing with my full environment available to me.

`ssh` then `vim` but within a `screen` session, this way I maintain the state, e.g vim stays open on the configuration file or the code, and I can have multiple "windows" per project, all easy to switch to.

I reattach to the running session with `screen -raAD` and I made a shortcut so that if I type `s` in my terminal I'm in my server, ready to code.

Why not using VSCodium ? VSCode without the bullshit and extension still works !

Nautilus on my linux laptop can mount sftp as if it were a physically attached drive. You can even right click empty space in the folder to get the option of "Open in Remote Terminal" or "Open in Local Terminal".
