Few years ago when GitHub Copilot came out, I got tired of alternative VS Code Server solutions struggling with official MC extensions. So I built my own Docker container using the official VS Code Server binary.

Been using it without issues since then, and recently got surprised by the download count on Docker registry. Figured it might help others, so sharing it properly for the first time!

Repo: https://github.com/nerasse/my-code-server

Requirements:

  • Docker
  • Reverse Proxy (mandatory for WebSocket upgrade)

The reverse proxy isn't optional - VS Code Server needs WebSocket support to work properly. I've included an nginx config example in the repo.

Future idea: Thinking about making an AIO (All-In-One) version with nginx already integrated + basic auth system for those who don't want to deal with reverse proxy config. Interested?
