code-server ·

code-server allows you to run VS Code on any machine anywhere and access it using a web browser.

Highlights

• Code on any device with a consistent development environment
• Use cloud servers to speed up tests, compilations, downloads, and more
• Preserve battery life when you're on the go; all intensive tasks run on your server

Getting Started

We offer an install script for Linux, macOS, and FreeBSD that automates most of the process; the script uses the system package manager (if possible). Alternatively, see Installation for manual installation instructions for most use cases.

If you use the install script, you can see what occurs during the install process by running the following (there are no file changes at this point):

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

To install, run:

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

When done, the install script prints out instructions for running and starting code-server.

We also have an in-depth setup and configuration guide.
