          <h2>Installing code-server</h2>

<ol>
	<li>Log into the Linux device</li>
	<li>Run the following commands in a terminal:
	<div class="codeBlock"># download the code-server install.sh<br />
	wget https://code-server.dev/install.sh<br />
	# make it executable<br />
	chmod +x ./install.sh<br />
	# run the installer<br />
	sudo ./install.sh --prefix=/usr/local<br />
	# start the service as root<br />
	sudo su<br />
	sudo systemctl enable --now code-server@$USER<br />
	exit<br />
	# edit the config.yaml<br />
	sudo nano /root/.config/code-server/config.yaml</div>
	</li>
	<li>Edit the password, or change the authentication type to none and change the bind-addr to bind-addr: 127.0.0.1:8888</li>
	<li>Continue with the following command in terminal:
	<div class="codeBlock"># restart code-server service<br />
	sudo systemctl restart code-server@root.service</div>
	</li>
	<li>Launch on web browser on the host running code-server and navigate to http://DNSorIP:8888</li>
	<li>Browser based VS Code......pretty nice</li>
</ol>

<p>Out of the box, code-server is only reachable from the host that it is installed on. An easy to configure workaround is to setup a proxy server to allow requests to Apache/NGINX to be routed to code-server.</p>

<h2>Apache Proxy Server (optional, but recommended)</h2>

<ol>
	<li>Run the following commands in terminal:
	<div class="codeBlock"># install apache httpd<br />
	sudo apt install apache2<br />
	# enable headers, rewrite, proxy and proxy_http modules<br />
	sudo a2enmod proxy proxy_http rewrite headers proxy_wstunnel<br />
	# edit the default site<br />
	sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf</div>
	</li>
	<li>Paste the following configuration into the existing VirtualHost
	<p>&lt;location /code&gt;<br />
	RewriteEngine On<br />
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f<br />
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$<br />
	RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/code/ [L,R=301]<br />
	&lt;/location&gt;<br />
	<br />
	&lt;location /code/&gt;<br />
	Header set X-Frame-Options ALLOWALL<br />
	RewriteEngine On<br />
	RewriteCond %{HTTP:Upgrade} =websocket [NC]<br />
	RewriteRule /(.*) ws://127.0.0.1:8888/$1 [P,L]<br />
	ProxyPreserveHost on<br />
	ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:8888/<br />
	ProxyPassReverse http://127.0.0.1:8888/<br />
	&lt;/location&gt;</p>
	</li>
	<li>Press CTRL+O, Enter, CTRL+X to write the changes to code-server.conf</li>
	<li>Continue with the following commands in terminal:
	<div class="codeBlock"># restart the apache service<br />
	sudo systemctl restart apache2</div>
	</li>
	<li>Back in the web browser, navigate to http://DNSorIP/vscode</li>
	<li>Enjoy your web based VS Code</li>
