code-server

code-server lets you run VS Code on a machine you own and access it in the browser. It is aimed at developers who want the same editor anywhere, while keeping heavy work on a server instead of the local device.

It works over WebSockets and runs on a Linux machine with 1 GB RAM and 2 vCPUs. Code runs on the server, so tests, compilations, and downloads do not depend on the client device, and intensive tasks stay off your laptop battery. It can run on cloud servers or alongside devcontainers.

code-server is developed by Coder and runs on your own infrastructure, with the browser acting as the client. Teams can adopt it at scale with coder/coder, Coder's remote development platform, while individuals run a single instance on a cloud server or VM.
