README.md

code-server

Run VS Code on any machine anywhere and access it through the browser.

  • Code anywhere: Code on your Chromebook, tablet, and laptop with a consistent dev environment. Develop on a Linux machine and pick up from any device with a web browser.
  • Server-powered: Take advantage of large cloud servers to speed up tests, compilations, downloads, and more. Preserve battery life when you're on the go since all intensive tasks runs on your server. Make use of a spare computer you have lying around and turn it into a full development environment.

Getting started

For a proper setup and walkthrough, please see ./doc/guide.md.

Debian, Ubuntu

curl -sSOL https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases/download/3.3.0/code-server_3.3.0_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i code-server_3.3.0_amd64.deb
sudo systemctl enable --now code-server
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml

Fedora, Red Hat, SUSE

curl -sSOL https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases/download/3.3.0/code-server-3.3.0-amd64.rpm
sudo dnf install code-server-3.3.0-amd64.rpm
sudo systemctl enable --now code-server
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml

npm

npm install -g code-server
code-server
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml

macOS

brew install code-server
brew service start code-server
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml

Docker

docker run -it -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 -v "$PWD:/home/coder/project" -u "$(id -u):$(id -g)" codercom/code-server:latest

This will start a code-server container and expose it at http://127.0.0.1:8080. It will also mount your current directory into the container as /home/coder/project and forward your UID/GID so that all file system operations occur as your user outside the container.

Self contained releases

We publish self contained archives for every release on github. They bundle the node binary and node_modules.

  1. Download the latest release archive for your system from github
  2. Unpack the release
  3. You can run code-server by executing bin/code-server

Add the code-server bin directory to your $PATH to easily execute it without the full path every time.

Here is an example script for installing and using a self-contained code-server release on Linux:

curl -sSL https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases/download/3.3.0/code-server-3.3.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz | sudo tar -C /opt -xz
PATH="$PATH:/opt/code-server-3.3.0-linux-amd64/bin"
code-server
