`code-server` is [VS Code](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode) running on a
|
|
remote server, accessible through the browser.
|
|
|
|
Try it out:
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker run -it -p 127.0.0.1:8443:8443 -p 127.0.0.1:8444:8444 -v "$PWD:/home/coder/project" codercom/code-server --allow-http --no-auth
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- 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.
|
|
- All intensive computation runs on your server.
|
|
- You're no longer running excess instances of Chrome.
|
|
|

|
## Getting Started
|
|
### Run over SSH
|
|
Use [sshcode](https://github.com/codercom/sshcode) for a simple setup.
|
|
|
|
### Docker
|
|
See docker oneliner mentioned above. Dockerfile is at
|
|
[/Dockerfile](/Dockerfile).
|
|
|
|
### Binaries
|
|
1. [Download a binary](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases) (Linux and
|
|
OS X supported. Windows coming soon)
|
|
2. Start the binary with the project directory as the first argument
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
code-server <initial directory to open>
|
|
```
|
|
You will be prompted to enter the password shown in the CLI. `code-server`
|
|
should now be running at https://localhost:8443.
|
|
|
|
`code-server` uses a self-signed SSL certificate that may prompt your
|
|
browser to ask you some additional questions before you proceed. Please
|
|
[read here](doc/self-hosted/index.md) for more information.
|
|
|
|
For detailed instructions and troubleshooting, see the
|
|
[self-hosted quick start guide](doc/self-hosted/index.md).
|
|
|
|
Quickstart guides for [Google Cloud](doc/admin/install/google_cloud.md),
|
|
[AWS](doc/admin/install/aws.md), and
|
|
[DigitalOcean](doc/admin/install/digitalocean.md).

|
|
|
|
### Build
|
|
- 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 `yarn watch` will try to
|
|
compile the build directory as well.
|
|
- For now `@coder/nbin` is a global dependency.
|
|
- Run `yarn build ${codeServerVersion} ${vscodeVersion} ${target} ${arch}` in
|
|
this directory (for example: `yarn build development 1.36.0 linux x64`).
|
|
- If you target the same VS Code version our Travis builds do everything will
|
|
work but if you target some other version it might not (we have to do some
|
|
patching to VS Code so different versions aren't always compatible).
|
|
- 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.
|
|
|
|
## Known Issues
|
|
- Creating custom VS Code extensions and debugging them doesn't work.
|
|
- 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.
|
|
|
|
## Future
|
|
- **Stay up to date!** Get notified about new releases of code-server.
|
|
|
|
- Windows support.
|
|
- Electron and Chrome OS applications to bridge the gap between local<->remote.
|
|
- Run VS Code unit tests against our builds to ensure features work as expected.
|
|
|
|
## Extensions
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
## Telemetry
|
|
Use the `--disable-telemetry` flag to completely disable telemetry.
|
|
|
|
We use the data collected to improve code-server.

### Development
|
|
```fish
|
|
git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vscode
|
|
cd vscode
|
|
git checkout 1.36.1
|
|
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").
|
|
# Run the next command in another shell.
|
|
yarn start --allow-http --no-auth
|
|
# Visit http://localhost:8443
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Upgrading VS Code
|
|
We have to patch VS Code to provide and fix some functionality. As the web
|
|
portion of VS Code matures, we'll be able to shrink and maybe even entirely
|
|
eliminate our patch. In the meantime, however, upgrading the VS Code version
|
|
requires ensuring that the patch still applies and has the intended effects.
|
|
|
|
To generate a new patch, **stage all the changes** you want to be included in
|
|
the patch in the VS Code source, then run `yarn patch:generate` in this
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
Our changes include:
|
|
- Add a `code-server` schema.
|
|
- Make the extension sidebar work in the browser. Mostly involves removing
|
|
Node-specific code for the `extensions` channel client and adding a
|
|
`gallery` channel.
|
|
- Allow multiple extension directories (both user and built-in).
|
|
- Rewrite assets used in the CSS (like icons) or as images to use the base URL.
|
|
- Change the loader to use the base URL.
|
|
- Change the web socket to use the base URL.
|
|
- Set the favicon (using a relative path).
|
|
- Modify the file service to support writing from an asynchronous stream (for
|
|
uploading files).
|
|
- Add a file prefix to ignore for temporary files created during upload.
|
|
- Insert our upload service for use in editor windows and explorer.
|
|
- Modify the log level to get its initial setting from the server.
|
|
- Get telemetry working by adding a channel for it.
