I installed Compass on a remote server where I do my work. I use vscode to work there. I don’t use my Chromebook for development, I use the remote server.
However, Compass gave an error that it wants to use my display, of which there is none on the remote server.
Just fyi if you are facing the same issue.
Is the OS on the remote server headless or do you have some sort of desktop environment installed (KDE, Gnome, etc.)?
If you do, you could consider connecting with VNC or some other remote desktop software, and then you can use Compass. We have several customers that do exactly that with more or less fancy configurations.
How do you run VS Code on the remote server?

It’s a digital ocean droplet, I don’t think there is a desktop but I can look
To connect via vscode, on the bottom left of code is various ways to develop in a container or remote host, in the left corner footer of code.
Yes you can, I use Compass on my DO mongo instance, you need to whitelist your IP and download the certificate and pass it into the connection field. DO has a guide for it if you click on “Databases” from your account, select the database and there you should find the instructions.
I will give it another try and update this thread, thanks
I am using a docker droplet not sure if that’s relevant.
