Remote Workstation

A Public repo that contains everything you need to be a developer on-the-go!

Features:

• Syncing passwords in a safe way via 1Password
• Authentication with your code via Github and SSH Keys
• A visual, remote code editor via VSCode and code-server
• Safe authentication to your image via SSH
• All the normal Ubuntu/Unix tools you know and love

1Password and SSH

This Docker image will use 1Password to sync SSH keys! This assumes:

• workstation_id_rsa is a 1Password document (note the type should be document, not note, etc)
• workstation_id_rsa.pub is a 1Password document (note the type should be document, not note, etc)
• generate these new SSH keys via ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "you@example.com"

SSH via mosh:

$ mosh --no-init --ssh="ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -i ~/.ssh/github_rsa -p 3222" root@<DROPLET_IP> -- tmux new-session -AD -s main
$ setup-worstation # I will pull secrets in via 1Password and prompt you for various account information

Developing Locally

Ensure you have an ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub on the host you are building the image from. It will become the image's authorized_hosts file.

# build the image (with your SSH key authorized)
docker build -t workstation:latest . --build-arg BUILD_SERVER_SSH_PUBLIC_KEY="$(cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub)"

# run the image
docker run --name workstation -p "2222:2222" -p "8443:8443" workstation:latest

# connect
ssh root@localhost -p 2222
mosh root@localhost -p 2222

# (optional) push it
docker tag workstation:latest {yourname}/workstation:latest
docker push {yourname}/workstation:latest

Code Server

1. Navigate to the folder you want to open and then run code-server in the directory. ie, cd ~/workspace/workstation/ && code-server.
2. If you want to keep the server running, use tmux or sceen.
3. Running this command will generate a password for the web interface.
