Fast install

Run by non-root user

curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh

Run the code-server command to start the service and generate the config, then you can immediately complete it

We look at the password in the config file...

nano ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml

We can set a public IP if we don't use nignx

bind-addr: 0.0.0.0:8084

Run service

sudo systemctl enable --now code-server@$USER

If need to open port

By firewall

sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=8084/tcp
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

By iptables

sudo iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp --dport 8084 -j ACCEPT
service iptables save
