code-server
code-server
is VS Code running on a
remote server, accessible through the browser.
Try it out:
docker run -it -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 -v "$PWD:/home/coder/project" -u "$(id -u):$(id -g)" codercom/code-server:latest
- 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 computation runs on your server.
