Installing the Duckly Extension

Duckly uses an extension to provide real time sharing features

  1. Install the Duckly extension from OpenVSX on code-server.
SERVICE_URL=https://open-vsx.org/vscode/gallery \
  ITEM_URL=https://open-vsx.org/vscode/item \
  code-server --install-extension gitduck.code-streaming
  1. Refresh you code-server window. You should now be able to see the Duckly extension.

Sharing with Duckly

As code-server is based on VS Code, you can follow the steps described on Duckly's Pair programming with VS Code page and skip the installation step.
