Overview

What is code-server?

code-server, developed by Coder, runs Visual Studio Code on a remote server and makes it accessible from a simple web browser. Your full VS Code editor — extensions, integrated terminal, debugger — runs on the server side, and you can access it from any device, without local installation.

This architecture offloads all computing power to the server, providing three major benefits: a consistent development environment regardless of the device used; the ability to leverage a powerful server to speed up tests, compilations, and downloads; and battery savings on mobile devices, since intensive tasks no longer drain the local battery.

Typical use cases: having a 'cloud' development station accessible from anywhere, sharing a dev environment with a team, developing on a tablet or Chromebook, or centralizing heavy projects. code-server remains self-hosted, free, and open-source (MIT license) — unlike GitHub Codespaces, a proprietary and paid service.

The minimum recommended by the developer is a Linux machine with WebSockets, 1 GB of RAM and 2 vCPUs. DINAO deploys it in a container on French soil, applies updates, and monitors the instance — an ideal component for offering a sovereign, GDPR-compliant web IDE.

FAQ

You might be wondering…

Is it the real VS Code?

Yes. It is VS Code running on the server and accessible in the browser, with its extensions, terminal, and debugger.

What is the difference with GitHub Codespaces?

code-server is open-source (MIT), self-hostable, and hosted by DINAO in France, whereas Codespaces is a proprietary Microsoft/GitHub service hosted in the United States.

Do I need technical skills to get started?

No for usage: DINAO installs, secures, and updates the environment. You open your browser and code; a technical team can then customize everything.

Can I develop from a tablet or Chromebook?

Yes. All computing power is offloaded to the server: you code from any device with a browser, without local installation.

Can I change plans or export my data?

Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade at any time, and your code remains exportable — no proprietary lock-in.
