Private Server C9 [INSTANT]
All can be self‑hosted with Docker and offer LSP, debuggers, and Git integration out of the box. The legacy Cloud9 private server is a hidden gem for ultra‑lightweight, ephemeral, or offline development. Its small memory footprint (~80 MB idle) and real‑time terminal make it ideal for IoT device coding, secure facility workstations, or teaching programming on low‑cost Chromebooks.
