A Docker container that runs Visual Studio Code Remote Tunnel which can be connected from a remote client having Visual Studio Code locally installed or from the vscode.dev web app. The remote client can be a computer, an iPad or even a smartphone if your eyesight is good enough.
The container mounts a named volume that is supposed to contain workspace data.
- Execute
build.batto build the Dockerfile. - Execute
run.batto run the container if it doesn't exist yet or to start it if it has been created before.
The image's name should be alexanderdna/container-tunnel.
The container and volume's name should both be
alexanderdna-container-tunnel.
You can change the names to whatever you like.
I don't have the shell scripts for these platforms yet. Please feel free to contribute by making pull requests. Thank you in advance.
When the container is up, open its log in Docker Desktop or in the terminal using the following command:
docker logs -n 50 alexanderdna-container-tunnel
You will see a message from Visual Studio Code Server with the instruction to log into GitHub. Follow the instruction and you will be provided a tunnel name to connect.
