code-server is VS Code running on a remote server, accessible through the browser.
Try it out:
docker run -it -p 127.0.0.1:8443:8443 -v "${PWD}:/home/coder/project" codercom/code-server --allow-http --no-auth- Code on your Chromebook, tablet, and laptop with a consistent dev environment.
- If you have a Windows or Mac workstation, more easily develop for Linux.
- Take advantage of large cloud servers to speed up tests, compilations, downloads, and more.
- Preserve battery life when you're on the go.
- All intensive computation runs on your server.
- You're no longer running excess instances of Chrome.
Use sshcode for a simple setup.

How to secure your setup.
- Creating custom VS Code extensions and debugging them doesn't work.
- Stay up to date! Get notified about new releases of code-server.
- Windows support.
- Electron and Chrome OS applications to bridge the gap between local<->remote.
- Run VS Code unit tests against our builds to ensure features work as expected.
At the moment we can't use the official VSCode Marketplace. We've created a custom extension marketplace focused around open-sourced extensions. However, if you have access to the .vsix file, you can manually install the extension.
Use the --disable-telemetry flag or set DISABLE_TELEMETRY=true to disable tracking ENTIRELY.
We use data collected to improve code-server.
Development guides are coming soon.
