Any way to edit a file over internet?

I would like a program or website to connect to a computer and be able to edit a file there.

Say I have a server. Call it 192.168.1.2 Say I have a file. Call it /data/editme.txt

I want either a simple link I can bookmark to edit this file, or to a note app (such as Joplin or Obsidian) and also be able to edit this file.

I tried using Syncthing, however I would rather not have to sync the file from one location to another. This file has no need to be stored in multiple locations.

Anything that’ll solve this for me?

Deploy code-server and either connect to it with a VPN or open the port needed to connect over the internet.

  Always be careful when opening the port. But yes this is what I do as well, I just keep it behind a VPN
