How to run vscode on cloud and access remotly using webbrowser

online vscode

Hello Friend, in this session i will show you how to install vscode on vps machine and run it on my web browser

Visual Studio Code (VSCode) is the most popular development environment, period. If you need proof, here’s the Stack Overflow Survey from 2019, although it would’ve gotten even more popular by today. Like the objective majority, and I love VSCode.

Lets make it happen 😜

Step 1 - Check Install Docker

Make sure you have installer docker on your machine before, check with command;

$docker -v
Docker version 20.10.8, build 3967b7f
$docker pull bencdr/code-server-deploy-container:latest

Step 2 - Deploy vscode containner using code-server.

$docker run -d -p 0.0.0.0:8080:8080 \
  -v "$PWD/project:/home/rod/project" \
  -u "$(id -u):$(id -g)" \
  -e "DOCKER_USER=$USER" \
  -e "PASSWORD=12345" \
  -it bencdr/code-server-deploy-container:latest

the result should be
