Cloud9 IDE

Swasthik · February 5, 2026, 12:18pm

Hi,
I’m using a BeagleBone Black and trying to access Cloud9 IDE at 192.168.7.2, but it’s not opening. I suspect the Cloud9 service might be stopped or not running.

I can SSH into the board successfully, but the browser doesn’t load Cloud9.

Could someone please confirm:

Is Cloud9 still enabled by default on the latest Debian images?

Is there a recommended way to restart or reinstall Cloud9 on BBB?

I do not know which exact image you are testing now but…

c9ide was a no-go for the beagleboard.org personnel after it stopped being Open Source
I think now the IDE of choice is VS Code but that could change too

It is not always easy to keep up but there are many IDE types out there now. Let me double check to see what VS Code runs on…

This was the old way: sudo systemctl start bb-code-server.service

That would have got it to run on Bullseye and/or Bookworm. Now, for Trixie, I am not 100% sure. Sorry.

What image are you booting up with?

There was a transition period from Cloud9 → VSCode..

Even now, not every image even has VSCode, it just takes up space..

FYI, I had to click past a self signed certificate warning and accept the risk to continue in Mozilla, but the new Cockpit web console is really nice too. I assigned “beaglebone.local” in the image writer rs tool, and have DHCP working.
