Is there something similar that would allow me to use one of these on iPad Pro:

- A fully featured linux desktop with Visual Studio Code and a terminal

- A sandboxed terminal with persistent storage

- A text editor and a rust compiler

- A text editor

I could always ssh into my raspberry pi while at home, which is my second best solution. But, if anyone has some ideas/solutions in mind that require even a large bit of tinkering, please tell me :)

I just picked up a new 13” iPad Pro with the hopes as using it as a travel machine. Mostly for email/writing, but also for light development. Haven’t found a solution yet. I’m in web dev land currently, so node/npm/webpack and a local http server would be needed.

I've just found a solution that works pretty nicely for me: Coda. It has an integrated SSH terminal, it has FTPS and uploads changes to files on save and it has support for many languages (don't know about rust though). It also saves your terminals and open files within each project so you can easily switch around.

Coda on iPad + Raspberry Pi (or an old Mac mini) make a pretty nice dev environment.

If you are more of a VIM guy, something like Terminus works well too.

Here's how I do this: https://stephendotz.com/posts/pocket-dev/ Originally I set it up on my iPhone, but now I use my iPad Pro "13 w/ the keyboard cover and it's really pleasant. I've written a ton of code on it. Front-end work is a little bit less fun because there aren't any browsers with dev tools for it.

Amazing, thanks!

nice setup! I think I would go for a remote server instead of a local laptop in case I would opt for SSH’ing from the ipad. Thanks for suggesting Mosh !
