Hi all,
I seem to see a lot of people using VSC over ssh to see the files and folders on their servers and edit them more conveniently than compared to nano/vim but I’m looking for alternatives for VSC.
I have an increasing number of servers and hosting things with docker compose. Thus I have a lot of /app/docker folders with numerous docker-compose.yaml and other container specific config files.
I dislike VSC so as an alternative I use Notepad++ with nftp plugin (yap, I’m daily driving Windows) to connect to the servers to see and edit said files.
I also tried Jetbrain’ fleet but it seems to intall some kind of client on the servers it connects to which requires just enough resources to notably slow down my cheap VPSes.
So other than the 3 examples above, what kind of edit do you know/use to connect to servers and edit files there directly?
Usually on the remote i use lunarvim(neovim but with some default settings and plugins).
Other than that I usually have everything as a git repo, so i edit on my local/remote ide(pycharm, vscode or vscode server). I edit the files push them to the repo and then i just pull the files on my host.
I know this adds some steps to edit a simple file, but the version control etc can be a massive advantage depending on what you do.
