Welcome to code-server enhanced, a fork of code-server aimed to provide useful modifications to code-server without impacting client interactions Coder's code-server is a wonderful project I use regularly and I've decided to fork this project to provide key upgrades that should've (in my opinion) been included already while keeping Visual Studio Code's old interface but with merged security updates, which I won't actively maintain but will update if necessary (i.e. major security issues)

Changes:

• Refactored login logic to expire sessions after 6 hours

Plans:

• Login-tokens should either be randomized or salted, especially useful if one uses numerous devices accessible by others

Run VS Code on any machine anywhere and access it in the browser.

• 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

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

There are five ways to get started:

1. Using the install script, which automates most of the process. The script uses the system package manager if possible.
2. Manually installing code-server
3. Deploy code-server to your team with coder/coder
4. Using our one-click buttons and guides to deploy code-server to a cloud provider ⚡
5. 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.
