code-server ·

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

Highlights

• Code everywhere
  • Code on your Chromebook, tablet, and laptop with a consistent development 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 as all intensive tasks run 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.

Quick Install

We have a script to install code-server for Linux, macOS and FreeBSD.

It tries to use the system package manager if possible.

First run to print out the install process:

curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh -s -- --dry-run

Now to actually install:

curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh

The install script will print out how to run and start using code-server.

Manual Install

Docs on the install script, manual installation and docker image are at ./doc/install.md.
