I'm looking for something like Replit to host on my VPS. An editor,
plus the ability to develop and visualize code (Python, JavaScript,
etc.).

Hi,

I've been working on a replit replacement for myself since the
recently announced 'updates' to the service a couple months back, in
planning for migrating a couple of projects that i've got running
there.

I'm fairly pleased with [code-server](https://github.com/coder/code-
server) which is a straightforward remote vscode implementation.

It's fairly lightweight, with the minimum specs being 1GB RAM &
2vCPUs.  It's running like a champ on a free Oracle ARM instance (a
24GB RAM ARM VM).

Pair that with the free VS Code extension [codium](http://codium.ai)
and/or GitHub Copilot and you've got a pretty solid AI 'partner' that
I actually prefer to ghostwriter.

It lacks some of the features & polish of replit, and you're on your
own when it comes to secrets & package management for your projects,
but that said, it's been solid and available.

Considering last week's mega secrets debacle, the old fashioned
\`.env\` file actually seems like a plus!

I think you can self-host vscode's remote development solution
