Can I run intellij on it?? Or is this intended for more docker based workflow... Either way it looks interesting... congrats on the launch.

Jetbrains IDEs have hooks where you can run the ide local and execute code on an external machine. You can also host the IDE on the server and use the ide in a browser although I've never tried that before

"Use Visual Studio Code with integrated Git, Terminal and IDE features just like you would use it locally."

Is this using rsync or ? What is the best way to synchronize local disk with the remote server?

Curious if this could work with iPad pro. There are a few cloud IDE things in this space, but MoonHome's pricing is much friendlier.

VSCode has an existing remote option that uses ssh as the transport. Maybe it's leveraging that?

Visual Studio Code has built-in support for remote development. It runs a local agent on the remote server via SSH which does essentially whatever you would be doing locally (e.g. viewing, editing, searching) and only sends the minimal results you need over the network.

The pricing seems reasonable and more or less inline with what an equivalent VPS would cost. I have a couple questions: > When not used, Moonhome is disconnected from the network for maximum protection. When running, it sits safely behind the built-in network firewall. So does this mean when I ssh in it proxies and forwards the connection to the actual host which is otherwise unexposed to the public internet? Seems l…

I am curious of what the VPS options would look like pricewise, and how would a DIY approach entail.

A 32GB DigitalOcean droplet is $192 a month . A 32GB VM in OVH is $62.56 a month. Same thing in Oracle Cloud is around $145 (according to their confusing cloud cost estimator), and AWS r3.xlarge with 32gb is around $252
