Using HAOS machine for remote software development

To the best of my research I don’t think this is possible but it might be so obvious no one thinks to explain it.

I have a home assistant os server running on my machine, I understand this would be easier were that a virtual machine but we are where we are :slight_smile:

I’d like to use this machine as a remote development environment, have it sync GitHub repos, be able to edit files and critically be able to run a command line for compiling, running claude code etc.

Am I out of luck and only way to use the machine is redoing as a VM?

Thanks

HAOS doesn’t have most of the libraries that you would be looking for for all that.

It depends why you want it remote. I can access my HA Server remotely, run the HA App (I’ve used it on iPad OS). I can use Studio Code Server, the Claude Code App/AddOn and push things changes to git (haven’t had a reason to pull yet, but could). It does require good connectivity, but I’ve used it without problems or pauses, etc, from my workout clubs cafe.

Thank you both. Basically I’ve a Chromebook and a surface and for my play development work I’d like both to be using the same remote setup so it’s consistent. One is on my ground floor and the other in my attic so I want to avoid carting the surface up and done when I want to tinker on things.

I’ll try Studio Code remote and see where that fails.
