About this project
code-server is an open-source project that lets you run Visual Studio Code on any machine and access it through a web browser. It provides a consistent development environment across all devices, allowing you to code from laptops, tablets, or any machine with a browser.
Key capabilities include:
- Running VS Code remotely on Linux machines with WebSockets enabled
- Minimum requirements of 1 GB RAM and 2 vCPUs
- Offloading intensive tasks like tests, compilations, and downloads to cloud servers
- Preserving local battery life since computation happens on the remote server
Installation options:
- Automated install script (`curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh`)
- Manual installation via package managers
- One-click deployment to cloud providers
- Integration with devcontainers
The project is developed by Coder and includes extensive documentation, a FAQ section, and community support via GitHub Discussions, Slack, and Discord. For team deployments, Coder offers a companion product called coder/coder designed for managing code-server across teams on your own infrastructure.
