POC: Connect Web IDE to a container

Goal

Based on @viktomas's research in #367339 (comment 1035179565), we are confident we can connect the Web IDE to a publically available port. The goal of this POC is to prove that it's possible to establish a connection between the Web IDE and a container running VS Code Server.

Requirements

  • Remote environment running on a K8s cluster
  • Custom docker container running VS Code Server
  • Publicly exposed port
  • Web IDE connects to the environment

These are not part of the POC:

  • Authentication of any sort
  • SSH or tunneling into the remote environment
  • Advanced IDE features like code completion or linting

Success criteria

  • Hello world output?
