How often do you think, somebody walk home with code, happened ?

When you code on your laptop computer and push to git; every day. The problem wouldn’t actually be people taking code home, it would be taking the data they are working on, as this could be highly sensitive data (think medical history) and regulation wouldn’t allow for it to leave the company location.

Your medical data goes straight to people's all day every phones through Epic's web interface.

Has anyone tried this and compared it to https://www.theia-ide.org/ ? 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: docker run -it -p 3000:3000 -v "$(pwd):/home/project:cached" theiaide/theia:next

The biggest difference vs dockerized theia and coder is I have access to the actual server instead of just the docker container. This means I have the full power of the underlying server, access to my docker on the host and any other features. This also means though that it is direct shell access over the web and should be locked down like Fort Knox. I've put this behind Traefik with httpauth for testing and it works…

Which one gives you access to the actual server?

Maybe in the states. Where I live the only Epic around makes fortnight.

theia looks pretty cool, but didn't look like intellisense was built in to that docker image. Is there an easy set of language plugins, and a way to get them to pop into that docker image?

Which language are you looking for? There are more images: https://github.com/theia-ide/theia-apps and you can build custom with own set of Theia/VS Code extensions.
