Run Code Server Using docker-compose

readme.md

To run docker container using docker compose docker-compose up.

and if you want to update password to hased password, first create a new password using command echo -n "password" | argon2 passphrase -e and then copy the hashed password to config.yml in ./.config/code-server/config.yaml and change password to hashed-password like this

bind-addr: 127.0.0.1:8080
auth: password
hashed-password: "$argon2i$v=19$m=4096,t=3,p=1$cGFzc3BocmFzZQ$okkrFbM7upiCdoRdy3EWd7PXPdwXgN4lCaTY9MupgYo"
cert: false

if your run docker-compose with sudo, make folder .local, .config, and project in current directory and change the owner to your current user, like sudo chown -R $USER:$USER .local etc.

docker-compose.yml

version: "3.1"

services:
  vscode:
    container_name: vscode
    image: codercom/code-server
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
    volumes:
      - ./.config:/home/coder/.config
      - ./.local:/home/code/.local
      - ./project:/home/coder/project

nginx-conf

server {
        listen 80 default_server;
        listen [::]:80 default_server;
        
        listen 443 ssl default_server;
        listen [::]:443 ssl default_server;

        ssl_certificate         /etc/ssl/certs/cert.pem;
        ssl_certificate_key     /etc/ssl/private/key.pem;

        location / {
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
                proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
                proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
                proxy_set_header Host $host;
                proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
                proxy_set_header Connection upgrade;
                proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
        }

        client_max_body_size 50m;
}

Unfortunately docker-compose up could not start. Firing up with root user.

vscode | [2022-03-20T11:14:47.163Z] error EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/home/coder/.config/code-server'

I tried doing chown, no luck. I also tried privileged: true - still no luck.

Should I create separate user for this or something?

change owner of .local and .config folder recursively by sudo chown -R $USER:$USER .local
