vscode releases

Getting started

Installation instructions

You can download the latest release for your platform from the GitHub release page.

Starting the VS Code Server

Linux

First, untar the downloaded archive.

tar -xzf code-web-server-v*.tar.gz

Then, run the web server.

cd code-web-server-v*-x64
./startup.sh

Docker

Starting the container

When using these commands, you can add a -d to the end of the command to detach from the container after starting it. This will make it run as a daemon in the background.

# Linux, macOS, or PowerShell
docker run --it --init -p 3000:3000 -v "$(pwd):/home/workspace:cached" gitpod/vscode

# Windows (cmd.exe)
docker run --it --init -p 3000:3000 -v "%cd%:/home/workspace:cached" gitpod/vscode

After this, visit localhost:3000.

Building the image

docker build -t gitpod/vscode .
