Strapi Dev Environment
Strapi CMS with a browser-based IDE — develop from anywhere
The Problem
Setting up a Strapi development environment requires a Node.js server, database configuration, and an IDE. Working on Strapi remotely means dealing with SSH tunnels, port forwarding, and syncing files between local and server environments.
The OneLift Way
OneLift deploys Strapi CMS alongside Code Server (VS Code in browser) with shared file access. Edit your Strapi project files, install plugins, and customize your CMS — all from a browser tab, on any device.
