`code-server` is [VS Code ](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode ) running on a remote server, accessible through the browser.
2019-03-07 02:59:43 +00:00
Try it out:
```bash
2019-05-02 17:32:05 +00:00
docker run -it -p 127.0.0.1:8443:8443 -v "${PWD}:/home/coder/project" codercom/code-server --allow-http --no-auth
2019-03-07 02:59:43 +00:00
```

- Code on your Chromebook, tablet, and laptop with a consistent dev environment.
- If you have a Windows or Mac workstation, more easily develop for Linux.
- Take advantage of large cloud servers to speed up tests, compilations, downloads, and more.
- Preserve battery life when you're on the go.
2019-03-08 16:34:31 +00:00
- All intensive computation runs on your server.
2019-03-06 01:45:21 +00:00
- You're no longer running excess instances of Chrome.

## Getting Started
2019-04-20 01:20:31 +00:00
### Run over SSH
2019-04-20 01:22:00 +00:00
Use [sshcode ](https://github.com/codercom/sshcode ) for a simple setup.
2019-04-20 01:20:31 +00:00
2019-03-07 02:59:43 +00:00
### Docker
See docker oneliner mentioned above. Dockerfile is at [/Dockerfile ](/Dockerfile ).
### Binaries
2019-03-05 18:46:43 +00:00
2019-05-02 15:24:12 +00:00
1. [Download a binary ](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases ) (Linux and OS X supported. Windows coming soon)
2019-03-04 18:31:27 +00:00
2. Start the binary with the project directory as the first argument
```
2019-03-08 16:10:50 +00:00
code-server < initial directory to open >
2019-03-04 18:31:27 +00:00
```
> You will be prompted to enter the password shown in the CLI
2019-03-04 22:11:48 +00:00
`code-server` should now be running at https://localhost:8443.
2019-03-04 20:27:46 +00:00

## Build
2019-07-03 00:10:17 +00:00
- If you also plan on developing, set the `OUT` environment variable: `
export OUT=/path/to/some/directory`. Otherwise it will build in this
directory which will cause issues because then `yarn watch` will try to
compile the build directory as well.
2019-07-08 15:33:58 +00:00
- For now `@coder/nbin` is a global dependency.
2019-07-10 23:10:39 +00:00
- Run `yarn build ${codeServerVersion} ${vscodeVersion} ${target} ${arch}` in
this directory (for example: `yarn build development 1.35.0 linux x64` ).
- You can run the built code with `node path/to/build/out/vs/server/main.js` or run
`yarn binary` with the same arguments in the previous step to package the
code into a single binary.

## Development
2019-07-10 21:29:15 +00:00
```fish
git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vscode
cd vscode
git clone https://github.com/cdr/code-server src/vs/server
cd src/vs/server
yarn patch:apply
yarn
yarn watch
# Wait for the initial compilation to complete (it will say "Finished compilation").
yarn start
# Visit http://localhost:8443
```
2019-06-27 22:34:33 +00:00
2019-03-04 18:31:27 +00:00
### Known Issues
2019-03-07 21:23:16 +00:00
- Creating custom VS Code extensions and debugging them doesn't work.
2019-07-01 13:29:13 +00:00
- To debug Golang using [ms-vscode-go extension ](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.Go ), you need to add `--security-opt seccomp=unconfined` to your `docker run` arguments when launching code-server with Docker. See [#725 ](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/issues/725 ) for details.
2019-03-04 18:31:27 +00:00
### Future
2019-03-27 22:05:44 +00:00
- **Stay up to date!** Get notified about new releases of code-server.
2019-03-04 18:31:27 +00:00
- Windows support.
2019-03-14 22:32:18 +00:00
- Electron and Chrome OS applications to bridge the gap between local< - > remote.
2019-03-04 18:31:27 +00:00
- Run VS Code unit tests against our builds to ensure features work as expected.
2019-04-03 15:23:32 +00:00
### Extensions
2019-03-22 19:58:13 +00:00
2019-04-02 15:41:44 +00:00
At the moment we can't use the official VSCode Marketplace. We've created a custom extension marketplace focused around open-sourced extensions. However, if you have access to the `.vsix` file, you can manually install the extension.
2019-03-22 19:58:13 +00:00
2019-04-17 22:18:35 +00:00
## Telemetry
Use the `--disable-telemetry` flag or set `DISABLE_TELEMETRY=true` to disable tracking ENTIRELY.
We use data collected to improve code-server.
