Development machine on TFGrid from Terraform

Idea

  • easy way & fast to get my development machine with
    • codeserver = editor
    • vlang
    • nodejs
  • I connect over planetary network to do my work, which is awesome
  • I was doing all of this with Gitpod, but now I am using this

Love the remote-exec feature. :slight_smile: Will try this later today.How do you get updated wiki / web content to display. Is it a manual git pull in the vm or does it auto pull the content in?

publishtools pull

should do the trick, if the export PUBSITE=https://github.com/threefoldfoundation/info_threefold_pub/tree/development/wiki_config has still been set
