code-server and VS Code work together.

- Secure connection over HTTPS or localhost (required for service workers and
clipboard support).
- For Linux: GLIBC 2.17 or later and GLIBCXX 3.4.15 or later.
- Docker (for Docker versions of `code-server`).
### Run over SSH
Use [sshcode](https://github.com/codercom/sshcode) for a simple setup.
### Docker
See the Docker one-liner mentioned above. Dockerfile is at [/Dockerfile](/Dockerfile).

### Build
## FAQ
- [VS Code prerequisites](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/wiki/How-to-Contribute#prerequisites)
```shell
yarn
yarn build
node build/out/entry.js # You can run the built JavaScript with Node.
yarn binary # Or you can package it into a binary.
```
If changes are made to the patch and you've built previously you must manually
reset VS Code then run `yarn patch:apply`.
## Security
### Authentication
By default `code-server` enables password authentication using a randomly
generated password. You can set the `PASSWORD` environment variable to use your
own instead or use `--auth none` to disable password authentication.
Do not expose `code-server` to the open internet without some form of
authentication.
### Encrypting traffic with HTTPS
If you aren't doing SSL termination elsewhere you can directly give
`code-server` a certificate with `code-server --cert` followed by the path to
your certificate. Additionally, you can use certificate keys with `--cert-key`
followed by the path to your key. If you pass `--cert` without any path
`code-server` will generate a self-signed certificate.
If `code-server` has been passed a certificate it will also respond to HTTPS
requests and will redirect all HTTP requests to HTTPS. Otherwise it will respond
only to HTTP requests.
You can use [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/) to get an SSL certificate
for free.
Do not expose `code-server` to the open internet without SSL, whether built-in
or through a proxy.
## Future
- **Stay up to date!** Get notified about new releases of `code-server`.

- Electron and Chrome OS applications to bridge the gap between local<->remote.
## Telemetry
Use the `--disable-telemetry` flag to completely disable telemetry. We use the
data collected to improve code-server.

### Development
- [VS Code prerequisites](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/wiki/How-to-Contribute#prerequisites)
```shell
yarn
yarn watch # Visit http://localhost:8080 once completed.
```
If you run into issues about a different version of Node being used, try running
`npm rebuild` in the VS Code directory.
If changes are made to the patch and you've built previously you must manually
reset VS Code then run `yarn patch:apply`.

Any changes made to the source will be live reloaded.

works internally.

# FAQ
## What's the deal with extensions?
Unfortunately, the Microsoft VS Code Marketplace is
## How is this different from VS Code Online?
VS Code Online is a closed source managed service by Microsoft and only runs on Azure.
code-server is open source and can be freely ran on any machine.
## How should I expose code-server to the internet?
By far the most secure method of using code-server is via
[sshcode](https://github.com/codercom/sshcode) as it runs code-server and then forwards
its port over SSH and requires no setup on your part other than having a working SSH server.
If you cannot use sshcode, then you will need to ensure there is some sort of authorization in
front of code-server and that you are using HTTPS to secure all connections.
By default when listening externally, code-server enables password authentication using a
randomly generated password so you can use that. You can set the `PASSWORD` environment variable
to use your own instead. If you want to handle authentication yourself, use `--auth none`
to disable password authentication.
For HTTPS, you can use a self signed certificate by passing in just `--cert` or pass in an existing
certificate by providing the path to `--cert` and the path to its key with `--cert-key`.
If `code-server` has been passed a certificate it will also respond to HTTPS
requests and will redirect all HTTP requests to HTTPS. Otherwise it will respond
only to HTTP requests.
You can use [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/) to get an SSL certificate
for free.
## Why are there x86 releases?
32 bit releases have been
## Multi Tenancy
If you want to run multiple code-server's on shared infrastructure, we recommend using
something like kubernetes and the code-server docker image.
## How can I disable telemetry?
Use the `--disable-telemetry` flag to completely disable telemetry. We use the
data collected only to improve code-server.
