[Openvscode-server](https://github.com/gitpod-io/openvscode-server) provides a version of VS Code that runs a server on a remote machine and allows access through a modern web browser.
We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker [here](https://github.com/docker/distribution/blob/master/docs/spec/manifest-v2-2.md#manifest-list) and our announcement [here](https://blog.linuxserver.io/2019/02/21/the-lsio-pipeline-project/).
Simply pulling `lscr.io/linuxserver/openvscode-server:latest` should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.
This image provides various versions that are available via tags. Please read the descriptions carefully and exercise caution when using unstable or development tags.
If `CONNECTION_TOKEN` or `CONNECTION_SECRET` env vars are set, you can access the webui at `http://<your-ip>:3000/?tkn=supersecrettoken` (replace `supersecrettoken` with the value set). If not, you can access the webui at `http://<your-ip>:3000`.
When reverse proxied through SWAG, custom services running on specific ports inside openvscode-server can be accessed at `https://PORT.openvscode-server.domain.com` very much like how code-server's port proxy function is handled. For that, a wildcard CNAME `*.openvscode-server.domain.com` needs to be created and the SWAG cert needs to cover those subdomains.
Docker images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate `<external>:<internal>` respectively. For example, `-p 8080:80` would expose port `80` from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port `8080` outside the container.
### Ports (`-p`)
| Parameter | Function |
| :----: | --- |
| `3000` | Web UI port. |
### Environment Variables (`-e`)
| Env | Function |
| :----: | --- |
| `PUID=1000` | for UserID - see below for explanation |
| `PGID=1000` | for GroupID - see below for explanation |
| `CONNECTION_SECRET=` | Optional path to a file inside the container that contains the security token for accessing the Web UI (ie. `/path/to/file`). Overrides `CONNECTION_TOKEN`. |
| `SUDO_PASSWORD=password` | If this optional variable is set, user will have sudo access in the openvscode-server terminal with the specified password. |
| `SUDO_PASSWORD_HASH=` | Optionally set sudo password via hash (takes priority over `SUDO_PASSWORD` var). Format is `$type$salt$hashed`. |
| `/config` | Contains all relevant configuration files. |
#### Miscellaneous Options
| Parameter | Function |
| :-----: | --- |
## Environment variables from files (Docker secrets)
You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend `FILE__`.
As an example:
```bash
-e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpassword
```
Will set the environment variable `PASSWORD` based on the contents of the `/run/secrets/mysecretpassword` file.
## Umask for running applications
For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional `-e UMASK=022` setting.
Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umask) before asking for support.
## User / Group Identifiers
When using volumes (`-v` flags), permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user `PUID` and group `PGID`.
Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.
In this instance `PUID=1000` and `PGID=1000`, to find yours use `id user` as below:

We publish various [Docker Mods](https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-mods) to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) as well as universal mods that can be applied to any one of our images can be accessed via the dynamic badges above.
## Support Info
* Shell access whilst the container is running:
*`docker exec -it openvscode-server /bin/bash`
* To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
*`docker logs -f openvscode-server`
* Container version number
*`docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' openvscode-server`
