Hosting of VSCode for browser based access

Question

Like Eclipse Theia, is it possible to run VSCode centrally, so it can be accessed remotely via browser (in multi-user scenarios using)? I am NOT talking about "https://vscode.dev/" (I am aware of that). I am curious about private hosting, with custom plugins, etc. (like Eclipse Theia).

there is https://github.com/coder/code-server but its kind of mute when you can use the [remote extension](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/remote-overview) to connect over ssh — Lawrence Cherone, Feb 09 '22 at 13:54

Thankyou @lawrence-Cherone coder.com

if you are using Docker

simply create docker-compose.yml

run docker-compose up in cmd

    version: "2.1"
services:
  code-server:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/code-server
    container_name: code-server
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000

After Completing your IDE available in localhost:8443 (As mentioned in the dockercompose.yml)

Installing on Windows (use git bash):

Windows We currently do not publish Windows releases. We recommend installing code-server onto Windows with yarn or npm.

Note: You will also need to build coder/cloud-agent manually if you would like to use code-server --link on Windows. Document

    yarn global add code-server
# Or: npm install -g code-server
code-server
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
