Hey Jules! Let me see if I can put together a video walkthrough for you.

There's a tiny bug with our Railway Guide. Once coder/deploy-code-server#36 is approved tomorrow, I'll make a video walkthrough! Thanks for your patience!

Sorry, I have a task that is higher priority but I will get to this soon!

Here's a video which walks you through deploying code-server to Railway and using on an iPad!

Great question! Any of the storage options should be fine. This doesn't store anything locally. Everything (coding files, etc) are all inside your Railway environment.

Well actually, your environment is not persisted so basically what you'll probably do is:

• set up code-server & Railway env
• clone a GitHub/GitLab repo
• work on your project
• push to remote so changes are backed up with version control

This is because your Railway environment might restart, reboot, etc. so it's not guaranteed your changes will be saved. I hope that makes sense!

Thank you I’m  doing my best to understand:)  I will try this this evening on my old 2013 iPad just to see if it works although it’s quite slow - I will probably need to upgrade it but iPads are so much better in my opinion! Thank you for all your help Jules  Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone On Wednesday, June 16, 2021, 11:17 pm, Joe Previte ***@***.***> wrote: Great question!
