Overview code-server is Visual Studio Code running on a server and reachable from any modern web browser. You get the complete VS Code editing experience, the integrated terminal, the extension marketplace, source control and debugging, hosted on your own instance, so your development environment lives next to your code and compute instead of on a laptop. This image delivers code-server fully installed and running behind an nginx reverse proxy, so a browser IDE is serving within minutes of launch. The current release available is code-server 4.127.0.
Application Stack code-server runs as a Node.js service under a dedicated unprivileged service account. It binds to the loopback interface and is fronted by nginx on port 80, with the WebSocket upgrade the editor needs already configured. systemd starts it on boot and restarts it on failure. User settings, installed extensions and workspace state live on a dedicated data disk so they are independently resizable and separate from the operating system disk.
A Full IDE in the Browser Open a folder and edit, search and refactor across your project. Use the integrated terminal to run builds and shells on the instance. Install extensions for your languages and frameworks from the marketplace. Use built-in source control, task running and debugging. Everything renders in the browser, so any device with a browser becomes a full development workstation backed by server-grade compute.
Secure First Boot On the first boot of your instance a one-shot service generates a fresh access password, unique to that instance, writes it into the editor configuration, and records it in a file only the root user can read. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.
Ready To Use Open the web UI in your browser, read the generated password, sign in, and start editing straight away. A built-in health endpoint answers on the reverse proxy for load-balancer and uptime checks. The user-data tier lives on a dedicated, independently resizable data disk.
cloudimg Support 24/7 technical support by email and chat. Help with deployment, HTTPS and reverse-proxy configuration, extension and workspace management, access control, storage and upgrade planning.
Use Cases A consistent, shareable cloud development environment for your team. A powerful editor reachable from a tablet, Chromebook or locked-down workstation. A build and debugging environment that lives next to your compute and data. An on-demand IDE for onboarding, workshops and pair programming.

Additional details
Usage instructions
Connect via SSH on port 22 as the default login user for your operating system variant (for the Ubuntu 24.04 variant the user is ubuntu). Retrieve the generated access password with: sudo cat /root/code-server-credentials.txt. Open code-server in a browser at http://<instance-public-ip>/ and sign in with the generated password (code-server has no username, the password alone signs you in). Open a folder, use the integrated terminal, and install extensions from the marketplace. The application is served by nginx on port 80 (code-server runs on loopback 8080); an unauthenticated health endpoint is available at http://<instance-public-ip>/healthz. User settings, extensions and workspace state live on a dedicated data disk mounted at /var/lib/code-server. The instance security group opens ports 22, 80 and 443. The services run under systemd: systemctl status code-server nginx.
