Hello all! We are in the slightly uncomfortable condition to do some remote coding. Means write XQ code that has to be kept on a server different from our PCs. We don't want to slow down our very agile development workflow by passing everytime from a Git repo ... Has anyone here some experience with remote editing of this kind? Using BaseX Gui is out of discussion, isn't it? Thanks, Marco.
Hi Marco, I'm sure others will have better thoughts on this, so please take this with a grain of salt. Jetbrains IntelliJ (and other IDEs) provide Remote Deployment options, and I would think Eclipse would offer something similar. I.e. write locally, and then push changes to the remote server with a keyboard chord. However, these types of connections require SSH or something similar. I don't know if that's a helpful thought or not. Best, Bridger PS Shameless plug from a happy user: the Jetbrains IDEs can leverage Reece Dunn's awesome XQuery plugin.

Thanks for the hint Bridger. We would like to stay lightweight thus I'd prefer to not introduce big IDEs only for pushing code. So for the moment (at least for me having Linux) I'll use Nautilus (Gnome file browser) to connect to the remote folder containing the code and opening files locally with BaseX Gui... we have to be much more careful with coworking and conflict management. But with no build process (thanks XQ) and developing in rather isolated sections (thanks microservices) may be it could work. We'll see... Thanks again. M.

Depends - you can run programs remotely e.g on the Linux desktop using X (instead of Wayland), and that should work fine with the BaseX GUI, assuming it's also on Linux. You run it on the server and display locally, https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-fix-x11-forwarding-request-failed-on-ch... may help set this up over ssh - the example assumes a CentOS remote server. There's X11 support also on the Mac although i don't know the details. If your connection is too slow, you may find this isn't as effective as testing locally and then doing a git push. Another option is a remote file system, such as NFS with Stunnel - see e.g. https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/encrypting-nfsv4-stunnel-tls Liam -- Liam Quin, https://www.delightfulcomputing.com/ Available for XML/Document/Information Architecture/XSLT/ XSL/XQuery/Web/Text Processing/A11Y training, work & consulting.

Hi Marco, I guess you’ve already discovered the built-in XQuery editor in the DBA. It can be used for remote administration of your code, but the editing facilities are certainly limited (syntax highlighting is probably the most stunning feature…). We sometimes use it for critical bug fixes and hot deploys in productive applications. The BaseX GUI can only be used in fact if all machines have access to the same shared directory in a server environment. Hope this helps Christian On Fri, Nov 13, 2020 at 3:50 PM Marco Lettere <m.lettere@gmail.com> wrote:
