# What is Arkanum ?
|
|
|
|
## 🙏 Mantra
|
|
|
|
Arkanum pursues the following principles to achieve its goals:
|
|
|
|
### 🥕 Principles
|
|
|
|
- Reduce the setup + configuration complexity by
|
|
- Completing existing VSCode remote development solutions *(like `Coder/code-server` or `gitpod-io/openvscode-server`)* with an
|
|
opinionated tool set and configuration.
|
|
|
|
### 🏁 Goals
|
|
|
|
- Deliver a fully featured remote development environment.
|
|
- Provide the best possible user experience for daily VS Code remote usage.
|
|
|
|
And most important:
|
|
|
|
> [!TIP] ⭐ Help people to stay focused on their primary task:
|
|
> Develop awesome stuff without wasting time with setting up *DEV* environments.
|
|
|
|
## 📆 History
|
|
|
|
The Arkanum project started when I was challenged to work on multiple projects from different locations
|
|
and devices. Setting up VSCode based *DEV* environments can be hard and takes a minute. Especially when
|
|
you think about all the tools, extensions and setup needed to work efficiently. On top of this,
|
|
you also want to keep the environments up to date to avoid version problems.
|
|
|
|
Another motivation was the fact that I needed to find a way reducing the time for onboarding, supporting, and debugging the environments from other teammates.
|
|
|
|
So I started searching for existing solutions. I didn't wan't to go the traditional way of packaging and deploying
|
|
a software solution. Luckily there was already a way to use VS Code remotely and I started working with [coder/code-server](https://github.com/coder/code-server)
|
|
and [gitpod-io/openvscode-server](https://github.com/gitpod-io/openvscode-server).
|
|
|
|
In late 2022 I decided to customize these project and so I started `Arkanum` as open-source project.
