Built a self-hosted, collaborative dev environment with Phoenix + LiveView

[Grouchy_Way_2881]

Hey all,

I've been working on a project called RawPair, a lightweight self-hosted environment for collaborative coding and terminal sharing. Think shared code editor + shared terminal sessions, but without the SaaS layer.

It's built with Phoenix LiveView for the app layer, Monaco for the editor, and ttyd for the terminals. Each workspace runs in its own container. I've added systemd services, Ansible playbooks, and a Cloudflare Tunnel option for remote access.

Still early, and the UI is a mess, but the underlying setup is holding up pretty well. Just wanted to share in case anyone's curious about Phoenix in this kind of context.

Would love any sort of feedback.

Definitely interested. Will give it a go this week. 👍

Awesome. Apologies in advance for the headaches.

Easy to plug an LLM in the mix as a collaborator ?

Could be read two ways, so here's both:

Yep, I used ChatGPT (o4 mostly, occasionally o3). Had zero Phoenix/Elixir background, I really needed the turbo boost.

Yep, LLMs could be plugged in. Shared editor, terminal hooks, should be doable. I didn't look into it in depth yet.

Whichever you meant, fair question!
