Hi and welcome!

It seems like you could. We have code server that’s similar (the link’s below). The one thing I’d think about here though is authentication. The apps the OnDemand run typically have their own authentication so that when it’s running on the compute node there’s some security for it.

Otherwise, without any authentication, anyone can find that port that’s open and connect to your IDE instance.

I’m not sure there’s a web-based version of Positron available yet. You may need to use a VNC based app as a starting template.
