This option works but sucks as a code editor.

You could host your code, e.g. on Github, use Github’s code editor and only pull the code on your server.

    Thanks! Didn't think of that. Don’t love putting it there but this is an easy solution :)

    Would those solutions have online editors I can use remotely via web? Of course using a vpn

    As I recall gitlab has an edit function. Not sure if it's the best alternative today, but it's one I worked with and know it can edit and can be self hosted. ( I went back to using git over ssh to a bare debian server and have no regrets )

    Edit: I briefly thought about forgejo (a gitea clone) after seeing it in self hosted, but I have no need for it ( just yet.)

    Forgejo (Gitea fork used by codeberg.org) is a lightweight self-hostable option, and has a web-ui-based file editor. It's got an official docker image, and it's packaged for freebsd, as well, which makes it very easy to deploy and maintain either containerized or on a server.
