pnpm is not used anywhere -- npm is the package manager everywhere -- so the mod that installs it is dead weight on every container start. INSTALL_PACKAGES loses apache2-utils, bfs, ffmpeg, imagemagick, librsvg2-bin, lsof, psmisc and ugrep, and gains glab. Each entry is re-resolved by apt on every start, so the list is kept to what is actually reached for.

# code-server
|
|
|
|
[VS Code in the browser](https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-code-server),
|
|
from the LinuxServer image, set up as a full remote dev box.
|
|
|
|
Comes with Go, Node.js 24, Python 3, and zsh via LinuxServer mods, plus `gh`,
|
|
`git`, `glab`, `unzip` and `zip` through `INSTALL_PACKAGES`. Git
|
|
author/committer identity is injected from `.env`.
|
|
|
|
## Docker access
|
|
|
|
The `universal-docker` mod installs the Docker CLI but no daemon, so the host
|
|
socket is bind-mounted at `/var/run/docker.sock` to give it something to talk
|
|
to. Containers started from inside are siblings on the host, not children --
|
|
bind mounts in them resolve against host paths, so a path under `/config` will
|
|
not exist unless the same path exists on the host.
|
|
|
|
The socket is owned by the host's `docker` group, which the `abc` user inside
|
|
the container is not a member of; run `docker` under `sudo` (the `SUDO_PASSWORD`
|
|
is the same `PASSWORD`) or add the group by hand. Handing a container the
|
|
socket is equivalent to giving it root on the host -- that is accepted here
|
|
because this is a single-user dev box.
|
|
|
|
## Environment
|
|
|
|
| Variable | Purpose |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| `SERVICE_HOSTNAME` | Container hostname, and the name the shell prompt shows. |
|
|
| `PASSWORD` | Web UI login, also the in-container sudo password. **A blank value disables authentication entirely.** |
|
|
| `GIT_NAME` / `GIT_EMAIL` | Git author and committer identity |
|
|
|
|
Generate a password with `openssl rand -base64 24`.
|
|
|
|
`SERVICE_HOSTNAME` is used twice: as the container's `hostname:` and as the
|
|
`HOST` variable inside it. Coolify injects `HOST=0.0.0.0` into every compose
|
|
app, and zsh seeds `$HOST` and the `%m`/`%M` prompt escapes from that variable
|
|
rather than calling `gethostname()` -- so the prompt reads `0`, the first
|
|
dot-separated field of `0.0.0.0`. code-server itself never reads `HOST` -- it
|
|
binds `[::]:8443` -- so overriding it only affects the prompt. bash is
|
|
unaffected; its `\h` uses the real hostname.
|
|
|
|
It is not called `HOSTNAME`, the obvious name, because Compose interpolation
|
|
lets the deploying shell's environment win over the `.env` file, and `HOSTNAME`
|
|
is set in every container -- including the one Coolify itself runs in. The
|
|
container would silently take Coolify's hostname instead of this value.
|
|
|
|
## Networking
|
|
|
|
Listens on `8443`. No ports are published — point the domain at that port in
|
|
Coolify or Dokploy. See the [root README](../README.md) for why.
|
|
|
|
## Storage
|
|
|
|
Everything lives in the `code-server-config` named volume mounted at `/config`;
|
|
the default workspace is `/config/workspace`. Removing the volume wipes your
|
|
files, settings, and extensions.
