Remote Development

VS Code in the browser​

Deploy code-server to use VS Code remotely in a browser.

Install code-server on Bianbu：

sudo apt-get install code-server

Run code-server，replacing IP with your machine's IP address:

code-server --host IP --port PORT

Note that if IP is not specified, it defaults to localhost and can only be accessed from the local browser. PORT is usually optional. When you see the following information, it means code-server has started successfully.

info HTTP server listening on http://IP:PORT/
info  Session server listening on ~/.local/share/code-server/code-server-ipc.sock

Open a browser on any computer or tablet and visit http://IP:PORT to open remote folders and files.
