# code-server

Run [VS Code](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode) on any machine anywhere and access it in the browser.

- **Code everywhere:** 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 full setup and walkthrough, please see [./doc/guide.md](./doc/guide.md).

### Debian, Ubuntu

```bash
curl -OL https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases/download/v3.3.1/code-server_3.3.1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i code-server_3.3.1_amd64.deb
systemctl --user enable --now code-server
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```

### Fedora, CentOS, Red Hat, SUSE

```bash
curl -OL https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases/download/v3.3.1/code-server-3.3.1-amd64.rpm
sudo rpm -i code-server-3.3.1-amd64.rpm
systemctl --user enable --now code-server
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```

### Arch Linux

```bash
# Installs code-server from the AUR using yay.
yay -S code-server
systemctl --user enable --now code-server
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```

```bash
# Installs code-server from the AUR with plain makepkg.
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/code-server.git
cd code-server
makepkg -si
systemctl --user enable --now code-server
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```

### yarn, npm

We recommend installing with `yarn` or `npm` if we don't have a precompiled release for your machine's
platform or architecture or your glibc < v2.19.

**note:** Installing via `yarn` or `npm` builds native modules on install and so requires C dependencies.
See [./doc/npm.md](./doc/npm.md) for installing these dependencies.

You will need at least node v12 installed. See [#1633](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/issues/1633).

```bash
yarn global add code-server
# Or: 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

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

### Docker

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

### Static Releases

We publish self contained `.tar.gz` archives for every release on [github](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases).
They bundle the node binary and node_modules.

1. Download the latest release archive for your system from [github](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases).
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 `code-server` without the full path every time.

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

```bash
curl -L https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases/download/v3.3.1/code-server-3.3.1-linux-amd64.tar.gz \
  | sudo tar -C /usr/local -xz
sudo mv /usr/local/code-server-3.3.1-linux-amd64 /usr/local/code-server-3.3.1
PATH="/usr/local/code-server-3.3.1/bin:$PATH"
code-server
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```
