Self-hosted Cloud IDE Overview

NoVibeCoding

Hi everyone! I tried a few self-hosted cloud IDEs and wrote an article about them. VS Code via code-server, Jupyter Lab, JetBrains Gateway, and Zed are included.

I have excluded coder.com. It is a great option, but it was a bit more involved to set up, so it feels more like a company-wide tool than something you would want to deploy quickly for a solo project.

Let me know if something is missing. I'd be happy to include it in the overview.

Previously was using Replit until they massively restructured their plans. Have since moved exclusively to a self hosted coder.com instance. Additionally have a few instances of code-server running here and there.

The issue with those is that you can't run them easily on your hardware. The most common use case is when you need to rent a GPU-Enabled machine for AI development and run some of your code on it.
