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.
