Workspace Web Access
Crafting workspaces can be accessed directly from a web browser using three methods:
- Web Terminal: A browser-based terminal.
- Web IDE: A browser-based Visual Studio Code.
- Web-based Remote Desktop: A browser-based graphical desktop (when activated).
No local installation is required for any of these access methods.
Web Terminal
Navigate to the workspace details page in the Web Console and click the WebTerminal button to launch a terminal session in the browser.
The terminal session does not persist between connections. When the session ends, the terminal and all its child processes are terminated. Background processes defined as daemons are unaffected and continue running independently.
Web IDE
Crafting workspaces run an open-source version of Visual Studio Code that can be launched by clicking the WebIDE button from the Web Console.
The Web IDE provides a full development environment in the browser, including file editing, integrated terminal, extensions, and access to the workspace filesystem.
Web-based Remote Desktop
When Remote Desktop is activated in the workspace, it can be launched in the browser by clicking Open in the Connect in the Browser section of the Remote Desktop dialog.
