The Pins Team's Code Server deplpyment repo

This repository containing the toolkit and Dockerfile for running your own Code Server on the container-based PaaS services.

code-server on a VM vs. a Container

• VMs are deployed once, and then can be modified to install new software
  • You need to save "snapshots" to use your latest images
  • Storage is always persistent, and you can usually add extra volumes
  • VMs can support many workloads, such as running Docker or Kubernetes clusters
  • 👀 Docs for the VM install script
• Deployed containers do not persist, and are often rebuilt
  • Containers can shut down when you are not using them, saving you money
  • All software and dependencies need to be defined in the Dockerfile or install script so they aren't destroyed on a rebuild. This is great if you want to have a new, clean environment every time you code
  • Storage may not be redundant. You may have to use rclone to store your filesystem on a cloud service, for info:
  • 📄 Docs for code-server-deploy-container

Add more dependencies?

(especially new extensions?)

• If it's just for you, please fork the repo and edit Dockerfile.
• For repo collaborators, you can either do editing the Dockerfile (which may break the CI builds) or send an PR.
