Sometimes when I am out of office and my client needs some urgent changes, I want to be able to edit code right in October's backend.
But I also want to keep safe mode on in production environment!

'IP based' development environment:

  • I have created /config/dev directory with config files edited to suit my development environment
  • I have added these lines to my .htaccess for an October project:
<IfModule mod_setenvif.c>    
        SetEnvIf Remote_Addr "^127.0.0.1$" APP_ENV="dev"    
        SetEnvIf Remote_Addr "^::1$" APP_ENV="dev"    
        SetEnvIf Remote_Addr "^111.222.333.444$" APP_ENV="dev"    
</IfModule>

Replace IP on last line with your office/home fixed IP address.

Away from office/home:

I have Synology Disk Station at my office with configured VPN (PPTP) so I can connect to office from iPhone/iPad. Through VPN connection I have my office's IP and I am able to remotely edit code in October's backend.

Not a big deal but maybe someone finds it useful :)
