Interesting, I'll look into that..

I run VS Code Server on a headless mac mini at home, and I map a subdomain to my home IP (because it needs SSL for the web workers I believe), and then I can connect to it over https from my tablet on the go. I use basic auth on the nginx proxy, and it works for my needs.

That part is working fine.

The hassle is the DNS mapping because my provider doesn't officially support dynamic DNS, and doesn't have an API, so I am using a variety of unofficial workarounds to automate this part and it's not always reliable, although thankfully my home IP does not seem to change too often.
