Moving from Visual Studio Codespaces to code-server

Recently, Microsoft announced that all VS Codespaces are migrating to GitHub. At this time, support for self-hosted Codespaces will be removed in favor of GitHub's cloud environments.

If you are looking to host a VS Code server on your own infrastructure, code-server is the solution.

• Use VS Code in the browser (terminal, integrations, extensions) 🧩
• Authenticate via password (or another auth + reverse proxy) 🔑
• Encrypt with HTTPS 🔒
• Host on any machine (Mac, Linux, WSL) 🖥
