Yes, Gitpod is open-source and can be self-hosted: https://github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/

FYI, gitpod.io is similar and works pretty well on Safari and iPad

FYI, the Gitpod blog has some thoughts on this comparison: https://www.gitpod.io/blog/github-codespaces/

You've probably seen https://gitpod.io then, which is kind of a hosted Theia that seems to work well in any browser/OS/device?

I was looking (at the time) for something that would allow me to develop windows applications from a Linux machine.

Sadly I'm still falling short. :<

Monaco has a few rough edges on iPad, but overall it seems to work great with https://gitpod.io (same editor as VSCode).

This sounds like good feedback. What do you mean by "github or azure enterprise package"?

I think Gitpod Self-Hosted was successfully installed on GCP, AWS, and Azure, and we're working on documenting the process.

It also works with self-managed GitHub and GitLab installations (with Bitbucket coming soon).

I don't think VS/GH Codespaces are open-source, and they don't seem to support GitLab.

However, if you do need something based on open-source that works with GitLab, take a look at https://www.gitpod.io

You can even self-host it: https://www.gitpod.io/blog/gitpod-self-hosted-0.4.0/

> Gitpod looked nice but the fact that you can only customize the editor per-repository doesn't make sense to me.

Gitpod also has user-specific Preferences, and even user-specific VS Code extensions. (Usually customization places have a "Workspace" tab and a "User" tab.)

I just added my user settings and my custom theme via .vsix and everything seems to have worked fine. Not sure how I missed this, thanks Jan!

Hey, that's awesome! Thanks for the update.

FYI gitpod.io offers 16 CPU / 60 GB RAM, and works great on Chromebooks & iPads.

>gitpod.io . . . works great on . . . iPads

gitpod.io is tightly integrated with the Monaco editor; is it not?

I ask because the top of https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/ says, "The Monaco editor is not supported in mobile browsers or mobile web frameworks". Has Microsoft changed their policy and simply neglected to change the passage I just quoted?

You're right, Gitpod uses Theia, which uses Monaco, which doesn't officially support mobile browsers.

However, we do extensive testing of Gitpod and Theia on mobile devices, and work around bugs or contribute fixes upstream to Monaco when possible.

Gitpod/Theia users now report that the iPad experience is great, and we continue to push forward on improving it.

On the other hand, VS Codespaces blocks you with a "This browser is not supported" error page when you're not using Chrome. (Even pre-Chromium Edge is unsupported.) But you absolutely need Safari support to work on iPad (all browsers there are basically just Safari skins).

We're pretty stoked to have new friends in cloud-native development!

Microsoft/GitHub joining the dev-environment-as-code movement is huge, will likely save us all a few more years of dependency-hell.
