VS Code Online

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

I saw this Idea in a Christiaan Hees post and made some adjustments to get the procedure done faster.

Usage

This script runs the latest version of code-server (VS Code) with just one command.

via curl

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/renanteixeira/vscodegcs/master/codeserver.sh)"

via wget

sh -c "$(wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/renanteixeira/vscodegcs/master/codeserver.sh -O -)"

Running

First run, you will have to select the settings. This screen will create a configuration file in "~/ .config/code-server/config.yaml"

New executions, you will be asked if you want to use the settings already saved or if you want to create new ones.

password: (Random string or Custom Password)

info  Using config file ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
info  Using user-data-dir ~/.local/share/code-server
info  code-server 3.4.1 48f7c2724827e526eeaa6c2c151c520f48a61259
info  HTTP server listening on http://127.0.0.1:8080
info      - Using password from ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
info      - To disable use `--auth none`
info    - Not serving HTTPS

If you are using the local machine, simply access the Localhost address.

http://localhost:8080

In Google Cloud Shell click the Web Preview icon and select Preview on port 8080.

I recommend using Boost Mode in Cloud Shell before running

That’s it, now you have an IDE running in your browser!
