This new format of your channel since you returned is so good, really enjoying the content coming out, keep 'em coming 👍

I've been using vscode to manage my docker compose projects for 2 year now. The remote explorer extention is fantastic and, thanks to your video, I now understand how useful the docker extension can be. Thanks a lot Christian !

[CarlesDelCollado-DevOps]

Happy to see you on the road again, Christian!

I use Docker extension a lot and is very helpful! For Kubernetes though I am using Lens which I find really great as tool as you basically have a general dashboard to see around what is going on in the cluster.

You always have great workflows, automations, and you really put time into continuous improvement and also showcase your knowledge! That's why I LOVE your channel! One question: How do you manage your homelab in terms of patch management? As I develop my own homelab, it becomes clear that just setting up services and forgetting about them in terms of upgrades/updates is not the smartest thing to do, but having a "dev" and "prod" environments for testing patches is a total overkill for my lab, which is a hobby (I don't want my hobby to become part time job; I already work in IT)

Great video showing alternative ways to manage servers and docker 👍

One big caveat of VS Code and Remote SSH extension is that the server site “client” uses a lot of memory. (110MB+) E.g. if you’re using a raspberry pi 3 or a cheap 1C 1GB VPS that’s over 10%, on a pi zero it’s over 20%. Just be aware of this, so you don’t produce out of memory exceptions.

Great video! I knew about some of the docker extensions, but had no clue about all of the integrations it offered. Thanks!

I also use VScode to manage my rapsberrypi!! Great tool!! Thank you for the video!! Cheers!!

[JonBrookes]

really usefull, relevant and pragmatic

why are not others talking more about this - I used vscode a lot and picked up things from this video so thanks for covering this so well

Good video, I like the remote ssh connection to be able to edit files right on the server.

[shetuamin]

Another good video. At the beginning I was using Mobo xtrem with notepad+. Now I use only use vscode.

[TheMrmaxno]

That is an awesome video, quite helpful and it really makes things easier

[mavoilure]

That's awesome. Great topics. Save me time... and made it easy now. Thanks!!

ich finde es auch witzig wie einem in anderen it bereichen immer gesagt wird man solle doch bitte eine ordentliche ide (jetbrains etc) benutzen, aber wenn man dann in die höheren bereiche kommt (cloud und ml) dann merkt man das alle devs dort vscode benutzen. jetbrains habe ich anfangs mal für react benutzt, aber es hat mich dann so genervt, das man die einstellung für das startverhalten beim debuggen nicht findet und selbst die leute im discord keine ahnung hatten wie man den port, start tasks etc anpassen kann, das ich es einfach nicht mehr benutzt habe. ist ja cool das es da so viele einstellungen gibt, aber wenn man den wald vor lauter bäumen nicht mehr sieht ist halt kacke. deswegen respect das du sagst: für jeden gibt es die richtigen tools

Cool for navigating and exploring but not for editing. Always use argocd and work from git to edit. And for secrets use sealed secrets.

Your videos are awesome

[wstrater]

Looking forward to trying those extensions but what really interests me is if I can split the VS Code screen and have my documentation on one side and the workflow on the other. Everything I am using at the same time in one screen!

[robertopontone]

super useful tutorial, thank you so much 👍

[maxtester]

As always really awesome video, Christian!
I have a question, though: can you recommend alternatives to the microsoft extensions for those of us who want to avoid MS telemetrics by using VSCodium instead of VSCode?

[forsaken]

I've learned I could remote manage Docker which is awesome. just wish I couldn't figure out which of my 3 containers are messing up nextcloud.

[vinaduro]

What can VS Code not do? I only recently started using it, and it looks like it will replace a whole bunch of my existing applications. Thanks for the great video, as always.
