Code Server now requires NodeJS 16. In the instructions replace: curl -fsSL deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash - With: curl -fsSL deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | sudo -E bash - to get the correct version

Truly great video! One small suggestion - when you do things in the terminal or editing files, please allow a second or two more of that visual content before changing to something else. For example, after you edited the config file to enable certs, the scene changed so quickly that I had to rewind a few times and try to pause the video at just the right moment.

100% BRILLIANT. FYI I installed Node v18 from NodeSource then got schwacked because code-server needs V16. After removing V18 and installing v16 all went well. The crazy Blink guy showing BlinkFS etc... I never got past the annoying Apple Files app BS. code-server is the bomb. I learned new tings about the iPad too. This was great, and very well presented.

Is there any option to change the Zoom level for the whole VSCode screen? It‘s a little small on the iPad 11“

@usercentered 2 года назад

My Pi Zero2 just froze trying to compile code-server. The reason was that the Pi was stuck swapping memory. I did the following to change the swap file size: sudo service dphys-swapfile stop sudo nano /etc/dphys-swapfile CONF_SWAPSIZE=1024 sudo service dphys-swapfile start This fixed it nicely. I re-set the swapfile size to 100 afterwards. Maybe this helps someone with a similar setup.

Quick question, after everything is installed, anytime you want to program, you would just have to plug the PI in and then when you're finished you would just plug it out right?

@mannkeithc 2 года назад

Excellent video. Running code-server via Safari worked fine, but every time I tried to run it via the blink ios app as per your video it kept advising I had to install blink-fs code extension. I installed this on the raspberry pi code-server, but it wouldn't install into the browser! I then read Blink's Code document page, and you have to first set-up by running "code ." in blink which loads a local instance of code, allowing you to download and install the blink-fs extension. After that, everything worked as per your video.

@tech_craft 2 года назад

Well spotted. I had already done that step before shooting and forgot to include it.

Hey! Great video, not sure if you’ve noticed but in the latest Blink major release, VSCode is baked in, just run code from your blink shell :D

Really nice video. I've got one question. Once you've installed an extension from a downloaded file, will it be updated directly or you have to download the updated version file, transfer it to the pi and install it again?

For extensions that you download and add manually, you'll need to repeat the same process to upgrade.

@DudeWithADrone 2 года назад

My experience was really weird. I had to install NPM and Node the long way round because my codename for my Raspberry Pi OS distro was "n/a". Anyway that seemed to go well and I could get version numbers with npm --version and node --version so I installed Yarn using nom and that worked good too and I got a version number for that when I typed the command yarn --version. However when I restarted my Pi and tried to get those version numbers through my zsh shell I got "unknown command: npm" etc for all three. So I changed my shell to a bash one and low and behold I could get version numbers again. I then changed back to zsh and the version numbers came up then too. But if Restart they then they npm, node and yarn seem to stop being recognised all over again. Also I managed to get the code server running and coming up in Safari once but now after restarts using systemctl I get a continuous redirect for the code server local webpage in Safari. I think I may just have to give up unless anyone has any suggestions. :-( Great video though. Cheers!

@tech_craft 2 года назад

It sounds like wherever npm is installed isn’t in the path in your zshrc file. You can run ‘echo $PATH’ in bash to see what you have that’s missing when you start up directly in zsh. Then you can add those to your path in your .zshrc file

The Pi WiFi get san IP address 192.168.1.x an dthe firewall rules do not allow 10.55.x.x to establish a connection... so occasionally (not all the time whcih is weird) I get intrusion detections and blocked... Any idea on how t make this work? I might need to re learn networking...

@handmadegenius 2 года назад

Hey! Great video, I have an ssl certificate from Let's Encrypt that I use for an apache server on the same pi (port 80/443). So I can access it from anywhere, my code-server port is also forwarded. Is it possible to use this certificate that I already have for code-server so it can actually be valid? Thanks!!

@tech_craft 2 года назад

As long as the hostname you access code-server over matches the host-name of the cert, I see no reason why it wouldn't work.

@limestone_xyz Год назад

Hey all, when I try to do the step with certificate, I can't start the code-server anymore. It throws the "Failed with result 'exit-code'." error. Any thoughts?

@jerrythomas2244 Год назад

Thanks Tech Craft, Do you think that this solution could be made to work wirelessly so there is no hard wire connection between the pi and the ipad?

@tech_craft Год назад

There's RaspAp which turns the Pi into a wireless AP that can be paired with this setup. It used to be the case that you could do this with just the wifi adapter in the Pi in a reasonably supported way. This is now not really supported and you need a second USB-C wifif adapter. That itself is a pain because the driver situation is terrible.

Great tutorial. When using vocoder with blink it sometimes loses connection. Is mosh a way around this? I can’t seem to get mosh and vocoder working together with blink.

@tech_craft 2 года назад

I don’t think mosh helps in this instance. Blink has a geolocation hack that can keep SSH tunnels alive for longer. You can run ‘geo track’ in Blink to turn this on

@Nalla02 Год назад

Hi, I'm watching all your videos about connecting the RaspBerry Pi 4 to Ipad Pro (M1) and I think this is a great idea but I have a question. Is this setup powerful enough to code new mobile apps, web sites, pc videogames (no simple videogames), or "big" software (not just for hobby)? And is it also enough powerful "to code" hardware (for example mouse/keyboard), I mean create a new mouse from 0? Thank you. (Sorry for my bad english)

@tech_craft Год назад

Websites yes, and 'big' software yes, depending on how big you go. You can certainly build real software on the Pi. I don't have enough experience with mobile dev to really say - I certainly think this setup is unlikely to work for iOS development, but maybe for Android. PC videogames. Things like Stardew Valley probably. Things like Crysis - definitely not. You can definitely code hardware with the Pi and because it has built-in GPIO, things like making keyboards or mice is quite common.

@Giodude23 2 года назад

Can you connect the Raspberry Pi to the iPad-Pro with a normal USB-Type C ? Or do you have to use a More advanced cord for it to work ?

@tech_craft 2 года назад

It depends on what revision of Pi4 you have. Revisions pre 1.2 need special cables. Tom’s Hardware has a list of know working ones: www.tomshardware.com/news/raspberry-pi-4-usb-c-cables-that-work,39869.html Newer revision work with any cable of decent quality. Be a bit wary of cables that are overly long or thin. You might see voltage drops that cause the Pi to throttle.

@tech_craft 2 года назад

You can add `LocalForward :` multiple times in the SSH config section of the host. So `LocalForward 8888 localhost:8080` forwards port 8888 on the target to port 8080 on the iPad

@OlleMattsson 2 года назад

What a brilliant setup. One thing comes to mind though, we not leave the PI connected to a router instead of carrying it along? Is there some obvious caveat I'm missing here?

@soontoberockstar8 2 года назад

This is what I do but I think some people like carrying it around for adding extra ports to their iPad through connection of the Raspberry Pi. Also if you want to access it when you are away from your home network you have to add port forwarding rules on your router to ssh to it remotely so it is probably easier for most people to just carry it around and connect it directly to their iPad.

@tech_craft 2 года назад

The only caveat is whether you’ll have reliable connectivity back to your home/office. If you do, then leaving the Pi at home makes sense. If not, carrying it gives a bit of extra certainty

For your second question, a definitive switch off would be real virtualisation on the iPad, or real unix on the iPad. Alternatively, a converged MacBook and iPad that was best of both. I’m also trying out Android at the moment since a lot of people suggested it might fit the bill. The Pi will remain usefully for many other use cases burgers are the main changes that would reduce its usefulness alongside the iPad I think

@antcooper 2 года назад

Would the Pi connect exactly the same way to a Mac using USB C? Wondering if I could have a Pi plugged in as a development machine when I'm at the desktop, but rather than taking a MacBook and iPad with me when I travel, I could just take the iPad and Pi and not have to rebuild my dev environment

Sorry for the late reply, I wanted to double-check that it does work, but yes, you can absolutely do that.

Need help with the code-server install via yarn. I keep getting the ff error “error /usr/local/share/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/code-server: Command failed. Exit code: 1” and further down it shows “yarn.lock file not present, not running in development mode. use npm to install code-server!”. Any ideas?

@tech_craft Год назад

Not sure of the exact errors but the latest docs recommend `npm` for ARM installs now. You can see the docs here; coder.com/docs/code-server/latest/npm

Is there a guide for serving a website to localhost:4200, or similar, and showing it in another window? I’m sure I found it on a video of yours and can’t find it again.

You can access anything running on the Pi using the Pi’s own hostname, there’s no real need to tunnel to localhost.

I went this route for a while, my most usecase is outside home/office, the experience is not good for three reasons: 1. the portability is not good with addtioanl dangle with Pi 2. the battery is wore with additioanl Pi consume the iPad battery. 3. the eco-system for arm is still not compatible with x86, many softwares are not running well. Now I switch to Surface Go3, which has the similar screen size, but full x86 linux installation ( Arch Linux ) without any dangle, I have run this for a while, the Linux experience is perfect, the drawback is not much excellent touch App support. So it's really depends the use cases for different solutions, just sharing my expereince here for reference.

I was running the Surface Pro 7 for a while, but with WSL on Windows 10 rather than going full Linux. How's the battery life? That always seems to be the downfall of mobile Linux.

@tech_craft Год назад

It does. If you have a USB-C Air then it works the same as with the iPad Pro. If you have a Lightning Air then you'll need a different connection method. See this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cD3JN8BHosI.html

Small question. U use blink. Why d’u use rasp pi of the vscode IS Integratd with blink? And next one. On Video and in blink IS code Web edition. Maybe Eastern Is to show code on VNC connection. IT IS full version on Linux . And all extension can be installed. And next. Maybe it will be good to show How run Live Server to show running our Project.

@tech_craft 2 года назад

The VSCode in Blink cannot run code - it can only edit. You need to connect it to separate server to have an execution environment as shown in the video.

Any way to use this on the go outside of the home?

@tech_craft 2 года назад

Yeah, a few good options. 1. You can carry the Pi with you. That's how this project started for me. 2. You can run a machine in your home and make it accessible on the Internet. Port forwarding, VPN or services like remote.it are good options for this. 3. You can run a machine in the cloud on a one of the many cheap providers like Linode or Digital Ocean.
