Application

code-server

Description

Code-server is a Visual Studio Code instance running on a remote server accessible through any web browser. It allows you to code anywhere and on any device such as a tablet or laptop with a consistent integrated development environment (IDE). Set up a secure a Linux development machine and get coding on any device with a web browser.

Take advantage of a cloud server by offloading the system demanding tasks such as tests, compilations, downloads to another machine. Preserve battery life when you’re on the go or spend your downtime doing something else while the computationally intensive processes are running on your cloud server.

Build notes

Latest GitHub master branch of code-server from Arch Linux AUR.

Access application

https://<host ip>:8500

If no password specified via env var PASSWORD then a random password will be generated and shown in the log /config/supervisord.log

Example

docker run -d \
    -p 8500:8500 \
    --name=code-server \
    -v ~/github/source:/data \
    -v ~/docker/code-server:/config \
    -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
    -e CERT_PATH='/config/code-server/certs/mycert.crt' \
    -e CERT_KEY_PATH='/config/code-server/certs/mycert.key' \
    -e SELF_SIGNED_CERT=no \
    -e BIND_CLOUD_NAME='' \
    -e PASSWORD=code-server \
    -e ENABLE_STARTUP_SCRIPTS=yes \
    -e UMASK=000 \
    -e PUID=0 \
    -e PGID=0 \
    binhex/arch-code-server

Notes

If both CERT_PATH and CERT_PATH_KEY specified then it takes precedence over values set for SELF_SIGNED_CERT and BIND_CLOUD_NAME, else SELF_SIGNED_CERT takes precedence over BIND_CLOUD_NAME

If you set BIND_CLOUD_NAME then check the log /config/supervisord.log for URL to authorise CDR with GitHub.

User ID (PUID) and Group ID (PGID) can be found by issuing the following command for the user you want to run the container as:-

id <username>
