How can I implement a remote environment for PhpStorm?
More:
I work on Windows, but I would like the web server and the entire working environment to be hosted on the VDS (Linux) from the provider or locally (vbox, vmware, hyper-v). Those. so that when editing files in PhpStorm, all changes are in real time (transparently) while you work.
I thought about running some kind of Linux distribution on a virtual machine and working in it, but there are some minor inconveniences.

Answer 1

Check out Vagrant support https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/PhpStorm/...

The project folder becomes shared between your localhost and the VM. The editing itself takes place locally, the virtual machine is only used as a runtime for your code.

Answer 2

What is the inconvenience of a virtual machine if the folder can be shared between the host and the guest?
