If you’ve ever wanted the flexibility of running VS Code directly in your browser, now’s the time to give it a try. After experimenting with various solutions, I’ve found a standout option: openvscode-server by github.com/gitpod-io/openvscode-server – a fork of Microsoft’s VS Code.
Here’s why I’m impressed:
✨ No limitations: You can run it seamlessly in any browser.
🔧 Self-hosting made easy: I’ve been running it on my Raspberry Pi 4B, and it’s performing flawlessly.
For those eager to try, you can download the precompiled binary from the GitHub release page. However, one caveat – there’s no DEB package for Ubuntu/Debian users.
💡 Solution: I loved the project so much that I created a Linux package for easier installation:
- ArchLinux/Manjaro (AUR Package): aur.archlinux.org/packages/openvscode-server
- Ubuntu/Debian (DEB File): github.com/Rizwan-Hasan/openvscode-server-deb/tree/main
If you’re a developer looking for a flexible and efficient browser-based IDE, I encourage you to give it a try. Contributions and feedback are always welcome! Let’s make development even more accessible. 💻✨
