One could argue convenience/ease of use might be a reason not to attempt this. It can run in the most anemic of containers.
Not to mention that the code-server binary has a very small resource requirement.
CODA 2 INTELLISENSE PRO
The latest pro uses an M1 chip which is extremely power efficient and is quite capable. This may have been true 5 or 10 years ago, but nowadays ipads are very powerful devices. But if you move everything to iPad, even long-running/compiling/linting, - you can quickly stuck into overheating/throttling problems, makes everything laggy, which will make your work a torment. Unlike me, you can use iPad for coding instead, removing Macbook from this scheme, if you want, - I guess, it is a viable approach too (it’s just my preference, because Macbook has a good keyboard). And all my devices stay cold, no throttle, pleasant to work with, during a long time (actually they never throttle). I also have iPad Pro, too, - but I use it only for creativity tasks: draw a quick diagram or quick UI sketch, etc. This works perfectly in unison, - thanks to Remote - SSH VSCode extension. Which means, Macbook is more like a UI layer for coding + browsing + taking notes, and Raspberry is my backend that is executing long-running tasks: linting, building, compiling, etc., connecting via SSH. I personally use MacBook Pro + Raspberry even, for engineering.
CODA 2 INTELLISENSE INSTALL
You should think twice, and maybe consider buying some Raspberry Pi, where you can install all your server things, - which all can be accessible through local network (i.e. iPad is designed to be a lightweight device, less battery, less computer power, etc., - than a normal computer, and more importantly it is without active cooling (without fans), which means it can easily be heated and throttled. You might wanna do this, but honestly this is such a bad idea. Is it possible to run code-server or vscode-server locally on iPad？ Because, who knows? It could end up being unexpectedly phenomenal. But we think this new future deserves a shot. How about running your favorite VS Code extensions, or running non-web native languages like Python, Java, or R in the browser via WASI? There are many unknowns still to be uncovered and resolved, but we believe the future opportunities for this technology are enormous. Imagine a future where you can run WebContainers at the edge on platforms like Cloudflare Workers, or entire development environments natively on an iPad.
CODA 2 INTELLISENSE SOFTWARE
Much remains to be done, but we can now confidently say that a future free from local instances of node, npm, git, and VS Code is a tangible possibility, and even enable the world's software to run in places it couldn't before. Its a technology running on Chromes capabilities API and allows to run nodeJS with file system access (through browser security), a TCP stack to run a server within the browser and other exciting stuff (along with offline functionality and being pretty fast).
Propably another nice alternative is shaping up:
