CodeServer-Desktop
Electron frontend for code-server.
About
This project provides a Windows, macOS, and Linux dekstop application for a self-hosted code-server instance.
Why
code-server has a number of advantages over VSCode but is only usable with Chrome. While not ideal, I'd prefer to install an Electron application instead of Chrome.
Usage
Unsigned release binaries are published to the Releases section. At first launch you will be prompted for a server URL which will be loaded automatically in the future.
(Optional) This project is for personal use so you will find the base Dockerfile used for my code-server.
It includes Java 11, Nodejs 12, Rust, Golang, Sdkman, and Krypton.
oh-my-zsh is installed, just set terminal.integrated.shell.linux to /etc/zsh in code-server.
Building
Run locally:
yarn start
yarn debug # Adds --inspect-brk
Build release binary for host machine:
yarn dist
Known issues
- The "Open New Terminal" command crashes the remote process and causes it to restart. (Terminal windows can still be opened)
Publishing
Pushing a tag prefixed with v (ex. v1.0.0) will trigger a release upload to Github for every platform.
See electron-build.yml.
