Has anyone tried this and compared it to https://www.theia-ide.org/?

First thing off the bat I notice is that Coder looks harder to deploy or try out, Theia was super easy, on the landing page they had a docker one liner:

docker run -it -p 3000:3000 -v "$(pwd):/home/project:cached" theiaide/theia:next

The biggest difference vs dockerized theia and coder is I have access to the actual server instead of just the docker container.

This means I have the full power of the underlying server, access to my docker on the host and any other features.

This also means though that it is direct shell access over the web and should be locked down like Fort Knox.

I've put this behind Traefik with httpauth for testing and it works well so far.

Which one gives you access to the actual server?

theia looks pretty cool, but didn't look like intellisense was built in to that docker image. Is there an easy set of language plugins, and a way to get them to pop into that docker image?

Which language are you looking for? There are more images: https://github.com/theia-ide/theia-apps and you can build custom with own set of Theia/VS Code extensions.

Dockerfile is being worked on.
