This is an Unofficial Flatpak version of VSCodium

Please open issues under: https://github.com/flathub/com.vscodium.codium/issues

Note that vscodium is granted full access to your home directory. You can use flatpak override to locally adjust this if you prefer to sandbox vscodium file system access:

flatpak override --user com.vscodium.codium --nofilesystem=home
# now manually grant accesss to the folder(s) you want to work in
flatpak override --user com.vscodium.codium --filesystem=~/src

This version is running inside a container and is therefore not able to access SDKs on your host system!

  $ flatpak-spawn --host <COMMAND>

Note that this runs the COMMAND without any further host-side confirmation. If you want to prevent such full host access from inside the sandbox, you can use flatpak override as follows:

flatpak override --user com.vscodium.codium --no-talk-name=org.freedesktop.Flatpak

Since are serveral ways to achieve this the better is to use vsix-manager

To make the Integrated Terminal automatically use the host system's shell, you can add this to the settings of vscodium:

  {
    "terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.linux": "bash",
    "terminal.integrated.profiles.linux": {
        "bash": {
          "path": "/usr/bin/flatpak-spawn",
          "args": ["--host", "--env=TERM=xterm-256color", "bash"]
        }
    },
  }

This flatpak provides a standard development environment (gcc, python, etc). To see what's available:

  $ flatpak run --command=sh com.vscodium.codium
  $ ls /usr/bin (shared runtime)
  $ ls /app/bin (bundled with this flatpak)

To get support for additional languages, you have to install SDK extensions, e.g.

  $ flatpak install flathub org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.dotnet
  $ flatpak install flathub org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.golang
  $ FLATPAK_ENABLE_SDK_EXT=dotnet,golang flatpak run com.vscodium.codium

You can use

  $ flatpak search <TEXT>

to find others.

If you want to run codium /path/to/file from the host terminal just add this to your shell's rc file

alias codium="flatpak run com.vscodium.codium "

then reload sources, now you could try:

$ codium /path/to/
# or
$ FLATPAK_ENABLE_SDK_EXT=dotnet,golang codium /path/to/
