The fork of LinuxServer.io with additional OpenJDK 11, OpenJDK 17, Maven, Gradle packages:

• regular and timely application updates
• easy user mappings (PGID, PUID)
• custom base image with s6 overlay
• weekly base OS updates with common layers across the entire LinuxServer.io ecosystem to minimise space usage, down time and bandwidth
• regular security updates

Code-server is VS Code running on a remote server, accessible through the browser.

• Code on your Chromebook, tablet, and laptop with a consistent dev environment.
• If you have a Windows or Mac workstation, more easily develop for Linux.
• Take advantage of large cloud servers to speed up tests, compilations, downloads, and more.
• Preserve battery life when you're on the go.
• All intensive computation runs on your server.
• You're no longer running excess instances of Chrome.

Building locally

git clone https://github.com/ValentinChirikov/docker-code-server.git
cd docker-code-server
docker build \
  --no-cache \
  --pull \
  -t code-server-jdk:latest .

Application Setup

Access the webui at http://<your-ip>:8443. For github integration, drop your ssh key in to /config/.ssh. Then open a terminal from the top menu and set your github username and email via the following commands

git config --global user.name "username"
git config --global user.email "email address"

Hashed code-server password

How to create the hashed password.

Usage

Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.

docker-compose (recommended, click here for more info)

---
version: "2.1"
services:
  code-server:
    image: code-server-jdk:latest
    container_name: code-server
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/London
      - PASSWORD=password #optional
      - HASHED_PASSWORD= #optional
      - SUDO_PASSWORD=password #optional
      - SUDO_PASSWORD_HASH= #optional
      - PROXY_DOMAIN=code-server.my.domain #optional
      - DEFAULT_WORKSPACE=/config/workspace #optional
    volumes:
      - /path/to/appdata/config:/config
    ports:
      - 8443:8443
    restart: unless-stopped

docker cli (click here for more info)

docker run -d \
  --name=code-server \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Europe/London \
  -e PASSWORD=password `#optional` \
  -e HASHED_PASSWORD= `#optional` \
  -e SUDO_PASSWORD=password `#optional` \
  -e SUDO_PASSWORD_HASH= `#optional` \
  -e PROXY_DOMAIN=code-server.my.domain `#optional` \
  -e DEFAULT_WORKSPACE=/config/workspace `#optional` \
  -p 8443:8443 \
  -v /path/to/appdata/config:/config \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  code-server-jdk:latest

Parameters

Container images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.

Parameter	Function
-p 8443	web gui
-e PUID=1000	for UserID - see below for explanation
-e PGID=1000	for GroupID - see below for explanation
-e TZ=Europe/London	Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London
-e PASSWORD=password	Optional web gui password, if PASSWORD or HASHED_PASSWORD is not provided, there will be no auth.
-e HASHED_PASSWORD=	Optional web gui password, overrides PASSWORD, instructions on how to create it is below.
-e SUDO_PASSWORD=password	If this optional variable is set, user will have sudo access in the code-server terminal with the specified password.
-e SUDO_PASSWORD_HASH=	Optionally set sudo password via hash (takes priority over SUDO_PASSWORD var). Format is $type$salt$hashed.
-e PROXY_DOMAIN=code-server.my.domain	If this optional variable is set, this domain will be proxied for subdomain proxying. See Documentation
-e DEFAULT_WORKSPACE=/config/workspace	If this optional variable is set, code-server will open this directory by default
-v /config	Contains all relevant configuration files.

Environment variables from files (Docker secrets)

You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend FILE__.

As an example:

-e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpassword

Will set the environment variable PASSWORD based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretpassword file.

Umask for running applications

For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional -e UMASK=022 setting. Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up here before asking for support.

User / Group Identifiers

When using volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.

Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.

In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below:

  $ id username
    uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)

Support Info

• Shell access whilst the container is running: docker exec -it code-server /bin/bash
• To monitor the logs of the container in realtime: docker logs -f code-server

Via Docker Compose

• Let compose update all containers as necessary: docker-compose up -d
  • or update a single container: docker-compose up -d code-server
• You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune

Via Docker Run

• Stop the running container: docker stop code-server
• Delete the container: docker rm code-server
• Recreate a new container with the same docker run parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your /config folder and settings will be preserved)
• You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune
