Code Server (Vs code online)

[doodlemania2]

I've got this ready for #unstable with just a few tweaks needed. There's an upstream issue that prevents installing marketplace items from the in app marketplace (licensing really) that I'll try to document over the coming days how to work with. cc: @girish https://git.cloudron.io/doodlemania2/vs-code
Hat tip to @murgero for the bulk of the hard work!

[girish]

@doodlemania2 Do you have a link to the upstream issue?

[murgero]

@doodlemania2 What I like most about how I packaged it was that I pre-bundled different Open Source languages, GO, PowerShell, NodeJS, PHP, etc - this can be a very versatile project if it's packaged correctly.

[doodlemania2]

@murgero - i agree - and it really isn't "hard" to add new extensions, you just have to do it manually and by grabbing alternatively licensed ones, not using the store.

[doodlemania2]

@girish it's more a "feature" than an issue: https://github.com/cdr/code-server/blob/master/doc/FAQ.md#differences-compared-to-vs-code

Is the version up on GitLab stable? I’m tempted to run this.

Anything I should know?

[murgero]

@atrilahiji No that version is not stable nor secure - I can send you a private repo with a more secure, working model. PM when you have a few minutes.

The non-snoopy de-branded version may also be of interest:

• https://vscodium.com/
• https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium

@marcusquinn ah that one is pretty nice. One thing I didn’t like was the lack of WSL2 support

[murgero]

I got this app working in a beta stage - PM me if anyone wants to test it with me.

Feature set includes:

• PowerShell
• .NET Core (.NET Full will be available in the future as MS releases installers for it.)
• PHP
• NodeJS
• bash / ssh support
• TCP Proxy Support

[doodlemania2]

@murgero my instance https://git.cloudron.io/doodlemania2/vs-code semi sorta works but I'm sure yours is much better. Feel free to grab anything from it if it is of use to you!

@murgero sounds awesome, I'd love to test it out! Not sure which repo would be in more working order.

[murgero]

@thetomester13 I have a private repo for testing (because there is so much security involved in making this stable) so if you would like access, shoot me a message here or pick a method of contact from my website https://urgero.org

[murgero]

@murgero This will be updated later this afternoon and put into a public repo for all to try.

Here it is: https://github.com/mitchellurgero/cloudron-vscode-package

Just clone the repo, then install:

cloudron install --image=mitchellurgero/org.urgero.vslamp:latest

[murgero]

@girish - Anyway to get this as unstable in the store? I have most of the code ready at this point and need some testers. code-server is no longer included in the repo so it downloads during compilation.

The only thing it needs is tests - I'm not sure what you would test before a build but if you can put me in the right direction I'd love to get this on the store ASAP.

[doodlemania2]

@murgero I'm running it and have used it a few times already - works great!

@murgero I had an issue where it was preventing backups but didn’t bother to diagnose it much. I’ll give it another shot and report back
