Build remote workspaces in kubernetes

Remote Workspaces PoC

QuickStart

# Create a git project to maintain all your remote workspaces
declare \
  gitops_dir="${HOME}/Documents/Repositories/homelab-gitops/"
mkdir -p "${gitops_dir}"
cd "${gitops_dir}"
git init .

# Export ENV Vars
export KUBECONFIG="${gitops_dir}/.cache/kubeconfig"
# See the values.yaml file for the registry in use
export CONTAINER_REGISTRY_USERNAME="..."
export CONTAINER_REGISTRY_PASSWORD="..."
export USER_SSH_KEY="${HOME}/.ssh/dev"
export USER_SSH_PUB_KEY="${HOME}/.ssh/dev.pub"

# Build Up a Remote Workspace
remote-workspace.sh --log-level info \
  up \
    "[e-mail]:pahansen95/eap-proxy.git"

# Tear Down a Remote Workspace (Doesn't Delete Workspace Data)
remote-workspace.sh --log-level info \
  down \
    "[e-mail]:pahansen95/eap-proxy.git"

Goal

PoC to build remote Ephemeral (Dev, Ops, etc...) Workspaces in a Kubernetes cluster.

Requirements

• Invoked locally
• Runs in a Kubernetes Cluster
• Workspace Folder Persistent, Everything else Ephemeral
  • Workspace Folder built from Commit of project
• Remote Connection via VSCode
• Loads Secrets (Git, SSH, etc...) from local machine

Design

• A Remote Container Exists that serves as the working environment.
  • VsCode Extensions
• (Future State) A set of Network Addressable Services
• A PV that holds the workspace folder & is mounted at the designated workspace path.
  • Originally created from a Commit SHA
• A Client side CLI tool that is used to build up & tear down the workspace.
• Client Side VsCode connects to the Remote Container
