VSCode has always been our favourite code editor, but I recently got the task of getting a web version of it in a React application. Well, after googling a few things, I found this way.

Setting up using docker

docker run -d \
  --name=code-server \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Etc/UTC \
  -p 8443:8443 \
  -v /path/to/appdata/config:/config \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  lscr.io/linuxserver/code-server:latest

for more reference: github.com/linuxserver/docker-code-server

Setting up using npm

npm install --global code-server

code-server
