Oh wow, people like that really do exist.

- Why vs code web and not desktop vscode?
- At least on the desktop version, there's a "><" (with the ">" being higher) looking icon in the lower left corner. Click that to open remote sessions.
I don't know if vs code web can do remote sessions. So the button might not be there
You can us ssh to open up a vscode instance that is pointed at/running on another machine. But I don't know if that works with the Web version.

There is also a tunnels extension: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.remote-server
Do we not have a fully-fledged OpenSource alternative to VScode yet ? (Not including VScodium)
On Android?
No. Closest is probably Zed but it's still way way off from being a serious VSCode competitor. For example it has no settings GUI at all; just a JSON file. It can't edit large files. Font rendering is still hit and miss.
Ask again in 5 years...
Managed to install Termux-Ububtu-Vscode for Arm64. But railed at getting the output via vnc.
How "production" are we talking? Pretty bad idea if it's an important work server. "Sorry boss, nobody could connect today because VSCode's mojam.service hit one of its many many 100% CPU bugs".
I think in theory there's no reason it isn't technically possible, but I doubt it's set up to allow it because that's a pretty odd thing to want to do.
Edit: oh you want to access it via Android. That makes vaguely more sense.
That is a terrible idea. Why do you even need to use VSCode on a production server? Use SSH with Termux.
