# code-server
`code-server` is [VS Code](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode) running on a
remote server, accessible through the browser.
Try it out:
```bash
docker run -it -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 -v "$PWD:/home/coder/project" codercom/code-server
```
- **Consistent environment:** Code on your Chromebook, tablet, and laptop with a
consistent dev environment. Develop more easily for Linux if you have a
Windows or Mac and pick up where you left off when switching workstations.
- **Server-powered:** Take advantage of large cloud servers to speed up tests,
compilations, downloads, and more. Preserve battery life when you're on the go
since all intensive computation runs on your server.
