<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I'm in the process of migrating back to emacs (for org-mode, especially org-roam) from vim land and want to recreate my workflow. I have a work-issued MacBook that's performance is less than optimal, especially for docker stuff. To remedy that, I have a beefy VM on my personal workstation that I ssh into then do all my work in nvim with tmux and it all works quite nicely.</p> <p>I'm trying to recreate that workflow with the Emacs GUI. I've found a few blog posts that talk about SSH forwarding the emacs server socket allowing you to open remote files in your GUI using TRAMP mode. This is not really what I want since I want pretty much all compute, (running makes tasks, using the lang server, etc) to be on my workstation VM and just have a window into it via the emacs GUI on my Mac.</p> <p>What I'm looking at doing now is running an emacs server in TCP mode on my VM, then connecting to that on my mac. What I've read so far is that it wasn't made for what I want, just because Windows doesn't support Unix sockets, and there are massive security concerns, which is not a concern for me since my VM is only accessible through a VPN.</p> <p>I guess my questions boil down to:</p> <ol> <li>Is anyone using emacs server TCP mode to work on a remote machine with good or bad experience?</li> <li>Is there a better way to do what I want?</li> <li>Am I being a moron trying to use the GUI and should just use emacs in terminal mode like I was with nvim?</li> </ol> <p>Thanks for any info you can provide!</p> </div><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/RyanTheKing"> /u/RyanTheKing </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/r2txoe/setup_for_using_emacs_gui_with_a_remote_server/">[link]</a></span>   <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/r2txoe/setup_for_using_emacs_gui_with_a_remote_server/">[comments]</a></span> |
