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) 🖥
Installation
