In this section, we will show how you can use Visual Studio Code to enable remote development inside a container. This is interesting when you are limited in what you can run on your workstation. Let's follow these steps:
- Download and extract the latest version of code-server. You can find out the URL by navigating to https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases/latest. At the time of writing, it is 1.1156-vsc1.33.1:
$ VERSION=<version>
$ wget https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases/download/${VERSION}/code-server${VERSION}-linux-x64.tar.gz
$ tar -xvzf code-server${VERSION}-linux-x64.tar.gz
Make sure to replace <version> with your specific version.
- Navigate to the folder with the extracted binary, make it executable, and start it:
$ cd code-server${VERSION}-linux-x64
$ chmod...
