Between WSL, Container remoting, Live Share, Code Spaces and this, the remoting capabilities of VSCode are pretty astounding. Most importantly, they're seamless.
It's the best editor available right now. I'm hoping to use it for notes in the future, with features from Obsidian implemented as extensions.
Use gitpod.
@@coffee-is-power Ah yes, that's the service I was trying to remember the name of.
Benefit is you can get real GPU performance without diminish your battery
Disadvantage is the lack of remote USB passthrough so it's not for everyone
@@harrytsang1501 Why do you need USB pass through? My first thought was a controller for game development. However, this isn't a streaming desktop; it's a remote tunnel for your code changes, terminals and any ports you open a web server on. So you'll be able to, say, train machine learning models on the remote GPU from the command line, but you're not going to necessarily see it render anything to a display buffer.
I'm not tempting you guys, but the next logical step for me, is adding apple pencil support. We will make full circle and go back to writing code on paper, but with intelliSense!
🤦♂️
That would take soooooo long 😂😂😂 please do not place such a curse upon us
handwriting vim commands is going to be wild
That would be awesome!!
reminds me CS students who still doing exam with paper 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have no better words than, this is absolutely amazing!!
I think the nice thing about it is that you can create and work on projects remotely, not only that, but you can show your local implemented projects on your phone and even run it, I think this is so powerful.. Many thanks for the great development !
Hey team just saw this - thank you so much for your hard work on this! To answer the short questions at the end of the video: I will be using this on a few ultra-lightweight laptops that don't quite have enough oomph for my development needs. I'll also use it on a VM in which I don't have the ability to run virtualization-within-virtualization. This should allow me to circumvent the docker restrictions we have on that environment.
One thing in particular I'd like to use it a lot with is API development - in particular, work on AWS via the "SAM" tool. I would like to note that my experiences with the remote WSL (using VSCode within Windows to point to the WSL environment on my machine) have been completely stymied by the AWS "SAM" tool. I don't know if anyone on your team works with it, but it simply doesn't redirect debugging requests to the WSL environment - everything within VSCode seems to use the remote connect feature except SAM. It attempts to send debug commands to the host Windows machine instead of WSL. Of course - I completely understand your team may not have any business with AWS or their tools. I am only mentioning this as a use case - if you are looking for common business deployment patterns/uses of VSCode and its integrated toolset - there are some integration patterns out there such as this that don't work.
Great work again, thank your entire team for doing something we have all been hoping for a long time! Thank you again!
This is so cool! Always wanted features! Thank you for supporting this!
Wow that really came together to make the dream happen! 🎆 🥳
VS Code anywhere with a full powdered backend. Brilliant!!!
Thank you dear VS Code Team!!! We love you
This would've been so useful a few years ago when i wanted to continue coding on my school chromebook at school!
One of the reasons why I haven't gotten an iPad yet is because it can't be used to develop anything even with all the power it's got. I'm excited to see what you guys come up with next. Hopefully a native iPad vscode
🤤
There are plenty of IDE apps on appstore
Yeah in about 100 years if you're lucky, and if Apple decide they will let you use your tablet in the way you would like to use it...
Can't wait to get access to this. I bought mac mini a few days ago since that better fitted my needs but I find myself needing to move to other places for short moments for coding. This would make my phone an alternative window into my code ❤
So you can use a mac instead of a pc to do this?
Thank you so much for creating this! As an iPad user, I was looking for a solution for using VS Code on it.
Love this and can’t wait to use it!!
I love vscode
So thankful I don't have to use visual studio
Now I just deal with the pains making 5he front end experience
And write all the code using vscode
This tool is a life saver for all languages and developer's
Thank you so much for this, ya'll are brilliant!
This is pretty unreal, in an amazing kind of way! NICE!
I'll keep using WSL ona Samsung Galaxy Book 360 Pro for now, but that's exactly what I wanted for the past 2 years. Thanks VSC!
My Chromebook was struggling when I installed VS Code on it. This will help a lot.
My Lg Wing was waiting for this!🔥🔥
Cool video. Saved to favourites will watch many times in the future. Honestly will probably use it to screen share my web apps.
This is amazing. You can go for a run and then take out your tablet from backpack and start coding in the park. I used to do this on Android with a C compiler installed, but that could run only C/C++ code. This is actually amazing. I just hope it won't consume as much data as a 1080p CZcams stream 😆
woah! much needed for so long.
Finally!!!! Can't wait for the official launch!
this is great but honestly now the only thing that is missing is being able to connect to the same vscode server using many users to collaborate, like liveshare but always on, faster and more reliable
Got the Early Acess today and I am enjoying it.
There are already open source versions of this same thing, such as coder, open vs code. Glad that Microsoft has also started to see its potential and implementing it
Yeah, but the thing that makes vs code amazing is extensions, and the open source versions don't have many extensions.
And second to that, if you are like many Americans, their ISP blocks port 80 inbound, so you have a hard time setting up a webserver at home.
@@deidyomega interesting.. I never knew about the ISP block. But both the OSS tools provide options to host on custom ports though
@@BalajeeKs Right, which inlays the next common problem, the browser creates a "downgraded" experience on non encrypted websites. Coder/VS Code Server basically "require" ssl.
But lets encrypt ssl tool basically needs port 80 open to inbound traffic to setup ssl. So you are kinda fubared there.
You can do a manual ssl, but its a pain in the ass.
@@deidyomega Huh just port 80? Come Bahrain, all ports disabled and when i call ISP she tells me go look up youtube, like how tf youtube will allow me to open ports from your side.
@@DeeezNuts Ohh no, my ISP blocks a good number of ports, but the only one relivent to this convo is 80.
Holy crap this is perfect! Would definitely use it on my Ipad when I'm on the go! It makes it a lot easier than using git and some sort of Ipad IDE from which you can't really create a dev environment anyways.
That is Freaking Cool, ... just signed up, .... I have been waiting for this.
Wtf??? Why wait for this when gitpod already exists?
Absolutely amazing!
To me, I see the biggest potential for this is to allow more security for big SW companies to protect their source code. I could have my real code in the office in a headless high-powered workstation, probably some big multi-user beast. Then I could connect from VSCode on my laptop (forget the browser, I want native VSCode) and my company can feel safe that "the code never left the building". Of course this would require the protocol to be transparent and possibly anti-exfiltration software (e.g. Suricata) to run against it, but in principle, if you have something "like remote SSH except without the whole complete ability to do whatever you want like you can with SSH, and generally much more code-exfiltration-proof", I think big companies would loooove that.
Google already does this.
Sounds like a horrible dev environment imo
@@Brandon-th9pi outside of latency and streaming arteracts, zero maintenance and ubiquitous access to dev tools doesn’t sound too bad to me.
@@lordgraga that’s the biggest issue for me - latency. I also don’t use vscode that much, so I’d hate to have lock-in to the product.
@@Brandon-th9pi what do you prefer then? vim?
Ohh this is great. No more syncing dev env on my mac every time I go remote. This is superrr handy.
I think the upcoming Salesforce Code Builder is also using this feature. Great work guys!
I'd use this at the school computer lab. Excited for this
Why am I finding about this now? This is so cool. I love it.
This is truly great. Thanks.
Mindblown! wow guys! this is gonna be a massive game changer.
Actually this looks freaking awesome
great stuff bro, all setup👍
Wow... this is amazing!
Looking forward to this
Amazing! Bravo!
This is absolutely incredible. Awesome job guys!
Looks great and I can't wait to try it, will it be free once officially released or a paid service ?
Keep moving guys👏
This is amazing !
I love Vscode! I'm a webdesigner working mostly with HTML and CSS files, is there any chance we will see an integrated apache in vscode enabling viewing changes of a site on the ipad?
OMG! Love this!!!
That looks very cool
This is really cool!
Now this sound like a lot of fun :)
This is a game changer. Awesome.
I recently got a Samsung tab S7 and was exploring options todo this. I do have an OP desktop. need to try this feature, thanks!
It really seems a great opportunity to enable using Samsung Dex to properly code. I can literally just use my smartphone (and a keayboard and mouse, because...) to solve great travel gadget issues! Trully AMAZING!
I love the "My VSCODE" to confirm that it is indeed yours ⭐
Even Android Studio can't run on Chromebook flawlessly, kudos for VSCode team 👍
loving it
Happy to see it being hosted on Linux
That moment when he say **secure tunnel service provided by** and look away and says **Microsoft** xD
this is frickin awesome
This is amazing!!!!
This is awesome 👏
I'm a college student who has a big bulky gaming laptop that I love. The issue is the battery life sucks and well, it's big. This is the solution that I have been looking for. I carry around a Galaxy tabs7+ to take notes on and I love it to bits but the one issue is that I can't code on it. This fixes my problem meaning that I won't have to lug around a massive laptop with me to every class!
I really do wish they could make VSCode an actual iPad App though, so you could use remote SSH with it.
I highly doubt they'd let you use SSH on iOS
@@miguelguthridge They'll let someone like microsoft maybe but you'll be limited to the sandboxed app
@@DeeezNuts They also wouldn't allow extensions that do anything on the front-end either, so it'd be super limited in a lot of ways.
@@miguelguthridge you're right, Apple totally wouldn't stand for them having an extensions store. Thinking about it now - there are a lot of things that would only be possible if Apple is ever finally forced to open up side-loading. That would be a game-changer for the iPad for sure
I think having it as a PWA is already enough
This is so exciting
This is perfect since I’m starting university and since I need to make notes on the same device I can now use my m1 ipad air with the apple pencil paired up with the apple magic keyboard for ipad and I can fully replace my laptop. I have a synology nas with a 6 core xeon and 16gb ram which is perfect for me since I can run it on ubuntu which Synology DSM is technically an identical package to any ubuntu distro. I did this and it works flawlessly. And now with full external display support and the power of the M1, this is my to go setup for 4K video creation, coding, gaming etc. VSCode Server is a life-saver
Edit: Didn’t mention this but I have that NAS for 4K and 8K video storage and I’m starting computer science in university :))
@@dorinai Do you know if the VIM plugin for VSC works when using it remotely like this?
awesome stuff
Man, this is what I want!!
Amazing!
This is ... beautiful
NO WAY!!!! TOO MAGICAL!!!
Will be nice to access VSCode remotely from a low end (4GB) Chromebook. I have tried to use VS Code running in the Chromebook's Linux VM and resources were stretched to the limit. Will be cool to have the IDE in the browser.
Awesome!
Very nice 👍
This is mind blowing
It's splendid!
this is awesome 👌
Whoa this is awesome... and how do I match these settings cause your VSCode looks amazing!
I wish vs code had a native app! ngl this M1 in ipad is capable enough to not need a desktop server, yet there are hugely limited options
I would use something doesn't get hot on my lap and doesn't burn my legs and fingers :) Thanks for this awesome feature.
Seems to be mostly the same as Live Share in Visual Studio just with a few tweaks to change its purpose from collaborative working to remote working.
i think we can use this with AWS serverless and stuff like that and get the full environment so we can put break points in our functions with actual environment that would be awesome
I do some real work with my ipad and logitech keyboard trackpad case. I have setup openvpn at my house and just log on RDP at my desktop. Works flawlessly
goosebumps!!!
Thanks a lot
This is HUGE!
As for me, everything is simple and clear. Thank you very much
this is so great
Thank you so much! Just signed up. This is soooooooooooooooooo amazing and important for me. I have three desktop computers, four laptops, three mobile phones and one iPad pro. I like my things to be where I am without needing to bring them everywhere. Being able to harvest the power of my desktop computer on any device is game changing. THANK YOU!
I would definitely use it while traveling.
Would love to be able to use my Samsung Tab S8 Ultra and S-pen for coding. Obviously it's a fair bit slower than typing, but I think it'd be a fun way to code simpler/smaller projects.
Is this a "vscode server" other than what we can currently use to do remote debugging on a server? In other words, do we need to install "a new" Vscode server or are we fine using the existing one and just use the url format to access it from a web browser? Btw, this is way too cool. Thanks!
Very cool! Can I access a node server too?
Coding frontend on ipad is impossible without devtools, which aren't in the browsers on ipad yet.
Yes 🙌🏽
Nice Very nice, just one question, suppose we need to call al SQL procedure, then the database must be installed in that 16core CPU right?
"Will you do this on a Chromebook?"
*laughs in Crouton and Crostini*
Having everything I need, including programming languages, sounds really great! But do you guys think of implementing a WOL functionality later down the line? After all, programming from everywhere can only be done, if I can reach my host machine at any time. But I would have second thoughts about keeping my beefy machine running 24/7, only to scratch that programming itch when it comes out. Plus the electricity bills would be astronomical (and it wouldn’t be very environmental friendly either). If you guys would implement that, I would install it in a heartbeat!
How exactly can Microsoft boot up your machine without access to a running device in your LAN? You'd be better off with using some low powered single-board computer like Raspberry Pi or a router with external management access for that purpose.
Another cheap solution is renting a cheap VPS instance that can be your private dev server for VS code. I already have a setup for that and to save some costs I wrote a few scripts that start the VPS instance based on the latest snapshot/backup and another script that turns it off, creates a new snapshot, and kills the instance completely. I'm paying based on usage per minute, similar to GitHub Codespaces but 10 times cheaper.
awesome
this takes work from home to next level 🤣
Seems pretty interesting
