VSCode Remote Development extension
I wanted to do development on the remote machines and vscode-server or SSHFS/NFS wasn't just good enough and fast enough so I ended up writing this. The main sluggishness was search text in files which is a feature that I use alot in my development workflow.

The daemon is written in python and a vscode extension. You can download the vscode extension from the releases and then just follow the instructions to connect to the server.
You can also spawn a new terminal and it would proxy it using RPC over websockets.
The only thing pending from this is that claude,codex and other AI vscode extensions spawn there own shell and cannot run commands on the remote server using the terminal which I have created.
It's alpine/debian both compatible.
Looking forward to your suggestions.

Isn't this exactly what remote explorer is for?
Why not just use some remote desktop solution? At least to me that seems to be more straight forward then trying to proxy a single application to a remote host.
code-server also works well if you want to run the whole VSCode including extensions remotely.
+1000000 for code-server
Its 🐐
My only problem with code-server is that I get chrome breakpoint exceptions on a seemingly increasing basis recently. Not sure if its a new version bug or a chrome bug or what. If it wasnt for that it would be perfect.
I use code-server for this exact purpose. Coding from anywhere
I do mainly API stuff and leave frontal to AI... so could be a recent issue? I know they are super active and if you raise an issue it could be solved soon.
Guys who are using code server should try search text in files over the whole code base and you would definitely feel the difference.
We don't need the complete mirroring TBH only the operations.
Its just waste of resources.
Maybe but using your time to figure something out that could also just be completely straight forward could be a waste of resources too
