I used to work at a place where we all used the enterprise server version of RStudio, which also runs in a browser.<p>There was a lot of good thing about that setup. Nobody could walk home with code, and no code was lost on somebody laptop.<p>Execution happened on a server, much more powerful than any dev machine.
Has anyone tried this and compared it to <a href="https://www.theia-ide.org/" rel="nofollow">https://www.theia-ide.org/</a>?<p>First thing off the bat I notice is that Coder looks harder to deploy or try out, Theia was super easy, on the landing page they had a docker one liner:<p>docker run -it -p 3000:3000 -v "$(pwd):/home/project:cached" theiaide/theia:next
It looks super easy to host your own server. The instructions consist of:<p>> 1) Download a binary (Linux and OSX supported. Windows coming soon)<p>> 2) Start the binary with the project directory as the first argument<p>> code-server <inital directory to open><p>From: <a href="https://github.com/codercom/code-server" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/codercom/code-server</a><p>Disclaimer: I haven't actually tried it.
