Utilities to transform any Ubuntu machine into a VSCode cloud IDE where you can run any docker-compose projects, with custom DNS.

• Edit with VSCode (install it as native shortcut in Chrome!)
• Run docker-compose projects
• Self configure DNS entry
• Automatic reverse proxy with SSL for any container

VSCode web interface is protected by basic auth with an .htpasswd file stored in ~/vscode-ide/data/.htpasswd.

In order to make changes to the list of available users, cd ~/vscode-ide/data.

# Add New User / Change password
htpasswd .htpasswd {username} 

NOTE: After changing the password it is necessary to reload Traefik:

# reboot the IDE
(cd ~/vscode-ide && docker-compose down && docker-compose up -d)

# reboot the machine
sudo reboot

The system generates an id_rsa file at setup time, that file is then loaded into the ssh-agent at boot time. Add it's public key to GitHub for a smooth experience.

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Also, you need to add GitHub to the .ssh/known_hosts:

ssh -T [email protected]

In order to automatically setup a DNS entry for your development machine you need 2 pieces of information:

• API Key
• ZoneID

My Profile > API Tokens > Create token

From the top-right menu, navigate to My Profile, then to API Tokens.

You need to create a new token using the Edit zone DNS template.

Enter CloudFlare admin, navigate to the domain's Overview panel and scroll down the page until you spot Zone ID on the right-hand panel.

Copy that value.

This key binding does not work by default on OSX (it mapped to Cmd + y).

As a temporary solution:

• open File > Preferences > Settings
• search keyboard.dispatch
• change to: keyCode
