How I set up code-server.

Things that I found useful.

Info

I used the LinuxServer.io Docker image: linuxserver/code-server:4.16.1

More reading

You can find the documentation from Linuxserver.io under:

• https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/code-server
• https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-code-server

The original Repo and documentation are also quite useful:

• https://github.com/coder/code-server
• https://coder.com/docs/code-server/latest

Setting up the container

Images

I use different images for all my projects, by doing that I can also specify all the requirements needed for running them.

Port forwarding

The server uses port 8443.

Environment variables

I set DEFAULT_WORKSPACE to /workspace, otherwise the default workspace would be under the config folder.

Other variables that you should set:

• PGID
• PUID
• PASSWORD
• SUDO_PASSWORD

Binds

You should bind these:

• /config
• /workspace

To something on the host.

Dockerfiles and extensions that I use

C++

See the folder c++.

Python

See the folder python.
