server-main.js runs itself outside a code-server context, which is determined using the CODE_SERVER_PARENT_PID environment variable. This is set by the wrapper, but there is no wrapper when running the cli (only for the server), so this resulting in the cli running twice (one self-run on initial import, again when we run spawnCli). This might fix https://github.com/coder/code-server/issues/7042
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 four 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 ⚡
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

We also have an in-depth setup and configuration guide.
