Supported Architectures

We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.

Simply pulling lscr.io/linuxserver/code-server:latest should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.

The architectures supported by this image are:

ArchitectureAvailableTag
x86-64✅amd64-<version tag>
arm64✅arm64v8-<version tag>
armhf❌

Application Setup

Access the webui at http://<your-ip>:8443. For github integration, drop your ssh key in to /config/.ssh. Then open a terminal from the top menu and set your github username and email via the following commands

git config --global user.name "username"
git config --global user.email "email address"

Hashed code-server password

How to create the hashed password.

Usage

To help you get started creating a container from this image you can either use docker-compose or the docker cli.

[!NOTE] Unless a parameter is flaged as 'optional', it is mandatory and a value must be provided.

Parameters

Containers are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.

ParameterFunction
-p 8443:8443web gui
-e PUID=1000for UserID - see below for explanation
-e PGID=1000for GroupID - see below for explanation
-e TZ=Etc/UTCspecify a timezone to use, see this list.
-e PASSWORD=passwordOptional web gui password, if PASSWORD or HASHED_PASSWORD is not provided, there will be no auth.
-e HASHED_PASSWORD=Optional web gui password, overrides PASSWORD, instructions on how to create it is below.
-e SUDO_PASSWORD=passwordIf this optional variable is set, user will have sudo access in the code-server terminal with the specified password.
-e SUDO_PASSWORD_HASH=Optionally set sudo password via hash (takes priority over SUDO_PASSWORD var). Format is $type$salt$hashed.
-e PROXY_DOMAIN=code-server.my.domainIf this optional variable is set, this domain will be proxied for subdomain proxying. See Documentation
-e DEFAULT_WORKSPACE=/config/workspaceIf this optional variable is set, code-server will open this directory by default
-v /configContains all relevant configuration files.

Environment variables from files (Docker secrets)

You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend FILE__.

As an example:

-e FILE__MYVAR=/run/secrets/mysecretvariable

Will set the environment variable MYVAR based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretvariable file.

Umask for running applications

For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional -e UMASK=022 setting. Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up here before asking for support.

User / Group Identifiers

When using volumes (-v flags), permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.

Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.

In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id your_user as below:

id your_user

Example output:

uid=1000(your_user) gid=1000(your_user) groups=1000(your_user)

Docker Mods

We publish various Docker Mods to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) as well as universal mods that can be applied to any one of our images can be accessed via the dynamic badges above.

Support Info

Updating Info

Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. With some exceptions (noted in the relevant readme.md), we do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Please consult the Application Setup section above to see if it is recommended for the image.

Below are the instructions for updating containers:

Via Docker Compose

Via Docker Run

Image Update Notifications - Diun (Docker Image Update Notifier)

[!TIP] We recommend Diun for update notifications. Other tools that automatically update containers unattended are not recommended or supported.

Building locally

If you want to make local modifications to these images for development purposes or just to customize the logic:

git clone https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-code-server.git
cd docker-code-server
docker build \
  --no-cache \
  --pull \
  -t lscr.io/linuxserver/code-server:latest .

The ARM variants can be built on x86_64 hardware and vice versa using lscr.io/linuxserver/qemu-static

docker run --rm --privileged lscr.io/linuxserver/qemu-static --reset

Once registered you can define the dockerfile to use with -f Dockerfile.aarch64.
