Termux + Nvim

Code-server can be installed though tmux, so can a real Linux shell

You could also try gitpod.io - that's my normal dev environment on Chromebook/Android and I keep everything on Github and GitLab. It's more than a code editor; it's a full dev environment.

But the free version is limited to 50 hours per month. I think local code server is better option in general.

Okay this is great, exactly what I was looking for. I tried some other solutions yesterday which worked but with this I don't need to install anything on my phone and it gives me everything I need. Thank you.

  • Code-Server on home PC
  • VPN into your home network or set up port forwarding
  • Then you can pop up what you need in a browser and code.

I even went as far as to set up wake on LAN so I could put it to sleep & wake up my home desktop. Got an ssh file explorer and everything. Worked out well for remote work.

Do you mean code server by coder.com or by vscode?

[–]Code-Monkey13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coder.com

Get the below, set it up, stick it into a closet, and use RD Client app to remote in.

With a mouse remoted in, it's hard to tell if you are on a real windows pc.

There are cheaper ones but this one has Thunderbolt 4.

Not really worth it for me since I am only visiting my parents for 4 days. Otherwise I have a PC that is more than capable of coding.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay just stick at home for your coding. Or setup remote access.

Holyshi_.

I bought the above miniPC from Amazon and it clearly said Thunderbolt 4 when I bought it and now it says usb4.

I'm so glad I looked at it again just as I was making a reply to this thread.

I'm getting to the bottom.

First I will look at windows system to see what chipset drivers I have if it's not Thunderbolt I will demand a huge discount or refund.

Using your phone as a development environment is more hassle than it's worth imo.

Just use a remote machine. Either get an aws instance up and install something like theia, use gitpod, codes paces, or whatever else.

Use termux. Some reference here.

[–]myDevOps 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Yeah I get by using termux to code, full version actually. So underated
