The --socket-fd flag never worked. The wrapper forks the process that listens, but only the IPC channel was inherited as fd 3, so the socket passed by the caller was not available to the child. Node then tried to listen on the IPC pipe and failed with "listen EEXIST". Pass the socket to the child as stdio entry 4 and tell the child to use that fd in the handshake. Node also reports no address for a Unix socket adopted by fd, which made startup fail with "Server has no address". Log the listener as fd:<n> in that case. Add an integration test that starts the code-server binary with a Unix or TCP socket as fd 3 and checks that /healthz answers over it.
code-server
Run VS Code on any machine anywhere and access it in the 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
Requirements
See requirements for minimum specs, as well as instructions on how to set up a Google VM on which you can install code-server.
TL;DR: Linux machine with WebSockets enabled, 1 GB RAM, and 2 vCPUs
Getting started
There are five ways to get started:
- Using the install script, which automates most of the process. The script uses the system package manager if possible.
- Manually installing code-server
- Deploy code-server to your team with coder/coder
- Using our one-click buttons and guides to deploy code-server to a cloud provider ⚡
- Using the code-server feature for devcontainers, if you already use devcontainers in your project.
If you use the install script, you can preview what occurs during the install process:
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.
Note
To manage code-server for a team on your infrastructure, see: coder/coder
We also have an in-depth setup and configuration guide.
