## What's the difference between code-server and OpenVSCode-Server?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
code-server and OpenVSCode-Servr both allow you to access VS Code via a
|
||||||
|
browser. The two projects also use their own [forks of VS Code](https://github.com/cdr/vscode) to
|
||||||
|
leverage modern VS Code APIs and stay up to date with the upsteam version.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
However, OpenVSCode-Server is scoped at only making VS Code avalible in the web browser.
|
||||||
|
code-server includes some other features:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- password auth
|
||||||
|
- proxy web ports
|
||||||
|
- certificate support
|
||||||
|
- plugin API
|
||||||
|
- settings sync (coming soon)
|
||||||
