Self hosted browser IDE that supports C# and runs on Windows (lemmy.world)

My server is still windows based, which I know is a bit of a sin at this point, but just bear with me please

There seem to be a few options avaliable, but I can't figure out if they all both support windows and C#, and a lot of the information I'm finding is linux specific.

Why? Well, I like to make little roguelikes and card battlers on my phone in pure c# code, it's a fun way to pass the time that isn't doom scrolling. A lot of my free time at work is spent sitting on a boat just waiting with no access to my PC

I've been using a C# ide on my phone, but Android as become such a fucking nightmare, most stuff seems locked down for some reason, and I can't access the local files to sync with syncthing to move it my PC when I do want to work with my PC.

So I'd like to use a browser based solution that will just store everything locally on my server

You can selfhost VSCode. I don't think there are any other good selfhostable IDEs that work with C#. I assume you could host VSCodium, but that's annoying to setup optimally for C#.

VScodium ideally

I've looked into Code Server, which is a github project I've found for self hosting VS Code, but it only works on Linux

Are you saying VS Code itself has a built in self hostable option?

Are you sure about that?

https://coder.com/docs/code-server/latest/install#npm

Below is quoted from the article

We recommend installing with npm when:

You aren't using a machine with amd64 or arm64. You are installing code-server on Windows. You're on Linux with glibc < v2.28 or glibcxx < v3.4.21. You're running Alpine Linux or are using a non-glibc libc. See #1430 for more information.

Installing code-server with npm builds native modules on install.

This process requires C dependencies; see our guide on installing with npm for more information.

Ah, I missed this somehow when digging through the git page

Thank you

What's the android IDE? To me solving the file permissions thing sounds simpler.

Android should allow you to do something like that with storage scopes.

Edit: I know I'm not answering your question, but I couldn't find anything like what you were asking for.

An alternative (which doesnt fully meet your requirements for browser based) is Jetbrains Rider. You can use its remote development feature to have your code on your server, and the IDE on your local computer.

Another option to get code to and from your device would be to use git to commit and push your code. There are git apps for android that should work for this?
