webspace

Codespaces + webtop = ❤

Get a remote session to a full linux desktop from within your current browser without installing any software on your current device.

Works everywhere:

• school
• university
• work

How to start

1. Create a codespace
2. Wait...
3. Click on "ports" and open webtop by clicking the globe symbol.
4. Enjoy!

How it works

We use Codespaces to get a virtual machine designed to run Visual Studio Code. Then we use webtop to start a docker container including a desktop environment and tools to make is accessible in the browser.

Take a look at the .devcontainer folder for details and feel free to modify it to your needs.

Tailscale

You can you Tailscale to connect to other devices and networks.

tailscale up --accept-routes

You'll only need to run tailscale up once per Codespace. The Tailscale state will be saved between rebuilds.
