https://video.elfhosted.com/videos/watch/0ae8acef-096e-49d2-a673-268935dff257 code-server is VS Code in the browser: a full editor with extensions and a terminal on any device. Hosted on ElfHosted, your workspace follows you. Run code-server with ElfHosted: it gets a secure HTTPS address on your own ElfHosted subdomain, which the editor needs for things like copy and paste, with your ElfHosted login in front, and we keep it running and updated so there's nothing to rebuild when a new version lands. Your workspace lives on our servers, so your files, settings and shell history are right where you left them, whichever device you open next. code-server itself is made by Coder. What is code-server? It's VS Code in the browser: Visual Studio Code running on a server, opened in any browser tab, with the full editor, extensions from the Open VSX marketplace, themes, keybindings and an integrated terminal. Most popular extensions are there; Microsoft-licensed ones are not on Open VSX. It turns a tablet, a borrowed laptop or a library computer into a cloud development environment, and builds and tests run on server CPU instead of your laptop battery. Start hosted code-server with a 7-day trial. It's backed up daily, and you can restore it yourself whenever you need to. Stuck? Sam, ElfHosted's AI helper, checks your actual apps, tells you what's wrong, and asks you before fixing it. When Sam can't help, our team is on Discord around the clock, in a family-friendly, carefully moderated server. code-server is open source (MIT); ElfHosted is not affiliated with Coder or Microsoft. It's one place for support for every app you run with us, handled by professionals, instead of a GitHub issue, docs that may be out of date, or yet another Discord per project. Unlike a generic chatbot, which guesses and overcomplicates, Sam is tuned on these apps and the way we run them: he safely reads your actual logs and proposes a fix, and nothing changes until you approve it.
