Compatibility: My main motivation for trying it at all, if your device has a modern web browser, you can get work done.I think it could work one day, it just needs some more time to fully cook, in the meantime I’ve set up a remote development environment that I can use from anywhere (even a Chromebook!), and I’m so pleased with it that I’m actually writing this article on my remote dev server from my desktop workstation, in lieu of the VSCodium installation on my local machine. I couldn’t even restore from a previous backup! In addition to that, Crostini (ChromeOS’ Linux Container) is still in beta and it shows, I spent weeks trying to assemble a usable development environment, I think I was pretty close so I tried to run a backup that failed, and I lost it all.

The trouble is I can’t actually build most of my projects due to some compatability issues with ARM. The C101PA is a great machine that checked almost all the boxes, it’s a joy to carry around and pretty usable to work on given it’s small size, and the battery life is stellar.

I had hoped for a very portable machine that I could develop on with long battery life thanks to ARM, at the cost of some extre build time that I was willing to accept.

I recently picked up a cheap 10.1' ARM Chromebook to try out as a light-weight mobile development machine (an Asus C101PA to be specific).

In this article you will learn how I set up a remote development server for cloud-native Docker apps.
