Details

Modernized Editor Stack

  • Updated code-server from v4.107.0 to v4.118.0, bringing the embedded
    Code editor from 1.107.0 to 1.118.0.
  • Updated the Code Editor app version to 1.118.0 to track the current editor
    stack.
  • Updated the Home Assistant CLI from 4.45.0 to 5.1.0.
  • Updated the base image from ghcr.io/hassio-addons/debian-base:9.1.0 to
    ghcr.io/hassio-addons/debian-base:9.3.0.
  • Refreshed pinned system packages including locales, openssh-client,
    openssl, and zsh.
  • Updated the bundled ESPHome Python tooling from 2025.12.3 to 2026.4.5.

Rebranded and Simplified Packaging

  • Renamed the app from Studio Code Server to Code Editor.
  • Moved the app source tree from vscode/ to code-editor/.
  • Changed the Home Assistant slug from vscode to code_editor.
  • Updated Home Assistant metadata, Docker labels, OCI labels, documentation,
    service script headers, icon, logo, and screenshot assets for the new Code
    Editor identity.
  • Changed Home Assistant metadata from an add-on style service to an app style
    package, including startup: application and io.hass.type="app".
  • Removed the deprecated build.yaml file and now pins the base image directly
    in the Dockerfile.
  • Replaced inherited generic build labels with explicit Code Editor labels,
    maintainer details, and repository/documentation URLs.
  • Added repository metadata and app-store README content for Home Assistant.

Faster Startup and Smaller Runtime Surface

  • Removed MariaDB and MQTT client packages from the default image. Users who
    still need those tools can install them with the packages option.
  • Removed Mosquitto and MySQL initialization scripts and their wanted service
    declarations.
  • Removed broad default Home Assistant mounts for addons, all_addon_configs,
    backup, media, share, and ssl; the app now maps the Home Assistant
    configuration folder at /config by default.
  • Removed the unused uart option.
  • Removed automatic home-directory links for broad Home Assistant folders while
    keeping compatibility links for /config and /homeassistant.
  • Removed the redundant yamllint Python dependency and libarchive-tools
    package.
  • Added an nginx ingress proxy so code-server only listens on localhost and the
    public ingress port only accepts Home Assistant Supervisor ingress traffic.
  • Added an AppArmor profile for the Code Editor app.
  • Continued to persist SSH settings, Git settings, zsh history, user-installed
    packages, and configured startup commands under /data.

Extension Handling

  • Changed build-time extension handling to download validated VSIX packages into
    /usr/local/share/code-server/vsix.
  • Changed startup extension handling to install bundled VSIX packages through
    code-server --install-extension into /data/code-editor/extensions.
  • Avoids reinstalling bundled extensions when the requested version is already
    present.
  • Clears stale extension scanner files, including .obsolete and
    extensions.json, from persistent extension storage on startup.
  • Added warnings for missing or failed bundled extension installs so extension
    state is easier to diagnose.
  • Added extensions.supportNodeGlobalNavigator for newer extension runtime
    behavior.
  • Disabled extension auto-check and auto-update by default so the Home Assistant
    editor environment stays deterministic across restarts.

Bundled Extension Updates

  • Updated Log File Highlighter from 3.4.5 to 3.5.1.
  • Updated Prettier from 11.0.2 to 12.4.0.
  • Updated ESPHome from 2025.4.2 to 2026.4.0.
  • Updated Red Hat YAML from 1.11.10112022 to 1.24.2026050908.
  • Kept Home Assistant Config Helper and Material Design Icons Intellisense.
  • Added Python, Debugpy, Pylance, Ruff, Jinja, and vscode-icons for a more
    complete Home Assistant-focused editing environment.
  • Removed Indent Rainbow and Error Lens from the bundled defaults.
  • Removed Copilot Chat from the extension list because it is already included by
    code-server.

Home Assistant Editor Defaults

  • Default workspace remains /config, with a guard that prevents using / as
    the workspace because indexing the full container filesystem is expensive.
  • Added explicit default log_level: info and required schema values for
    log_level and config_path.
  • Expanded watcher, search, and file excludes for common Home Assistant generated
    or noisy paths, including tts, www/community, and www/custom_ui.
  • Set the default theme to Default Dark Modern, moved the activity bar to the
    top, disabled the startup editor, and enabled the vscode-icons icon theme.
  • Updated the integrated terminal configuration to use the modern zsh profile
    settings.
  • Added defaults for line endings, final newlines, trimming trailing whitespace,
    the Python interpreter path, Ruff behavior, and telemetry opt-outs.
  • Preserved Home Assistant YAML associations, YAML custom tags, ESPHome local
    validation, and format-on-save behavior for Home Assistant YAML files.

Documentation and Repository Cleanup

  • Rewrote the README for the new Code Editor name, Home Assistant app install
    flow, included extension list, and support links.
  • Reworked DOCS.md into a shorter user-facing configuration guide.
  • Added translations/en.yaml for app metadata and options.
  • Removed inherited GitHub community, workflow, Renovate, Markdown lint, and
    YAML lint configuration files that no longer applied to this fork.
  • Updated license attribution and year.

Migration Notes

  • The slug changed from vscode to code_editor, so Home Assistant may treat
    this as a separate app from the original Studio Code Server add-on.
  • The default mapped workspace is now focused on /config. Add any extra
    command-line tools you need through the packages option.
  • User editor settings persist in /data/code-editor. Default
    settings are refreshed only when the stored settings still match a known
    previous default.
