My dream is to code web apps from my iPad from the couch/bed as I sit at a big desk and monitor all day for work and I just want to chill in the evenings on something smaller and more comfortable.
Remotes can be anything: I have a KVM host at home (that I remote to from my Mac for Docker dev) and plenty of Azure VMs.
I use blink for the terminal app and connect using mosh instead of ssh. I found that mosh handles the connection (reconnection) way better since iPadOS is pretty aggressive in killing the terminal app if I switch to a different app. I use also tmux on the server and just detach it when I'm done in case I want to work on it on my laptop or desktop. Overall works great, my only issue is that the 10.9" iPad screen is a _little_ bit too small for my liking so I don't do work like this that much. If I had the 12.9" iPad it would probably be something I use daily.
