Not open-source yet, the best alternatives for self-hosting right now are: https://github.com/gitpod-io/openvscode-server https://github.com/gitpod-io/openvscode-server https://github.com/cdr/code-server https://github.com/cdr/code-server Update: also check the discussion about their differences https://github.com/cdr/code-server/discussions/4267 https://github.com/cdr/code-server/discussions/4267 (IMO both are much slower and worse than vscode.dev)

+1 for GitPod .. Stellar integration with GitLab as well for CI / automation They claim Github integration as well (although I have not tried that yet).

  Geoff from Gitpod here. GitHub, GitLab and BitBucket are 1st class citizens. In time I’d like to see Gitpod extend support for sourcehut, cgit, gogs and gitea but we haven’t got around to it yet. Fortunately Gitpod is indeed opensource so anyone in the community could send in a pull-request and add support for the context parser.

>IMO both are much slower and worse than vscode.dev This just... doesn't make sense other than browser differences and the resources of the server actually running Code. Is the free trial of GitPod slow because it's running in a resource-constrained environment. Sure. (edit: let me be clear, GitPod is an amazing end-to-end experience and they have a very generous free tier for OSS projects/users, but it IS free unless you pay). Is self-hosted GitPod or code-server slower than VSCode? Not enough that I can notice when they're side-by-side looking identical, I can't tell which is which. In fact, I would challenge a single person to show me a side-by-side version-to-version comparison that shows VSCode.dev or VSCode native being significantly faster than code-serevr given that they're virtually the exact same thing running in Chromium instead of ... Chromium/Electron. (On an unrelated note, when even CloudFlare can switch to HCaptcha, and HN can't... well, I guess it's in line with the amount of technical care this place gets all-around.)

There is no direct comparison, so unfair to call them slower or worse. Both these services are for running your own private server and for browser IDEs to be thin clients. You can configure the server with your language tooling, build scripts and whatever else. You can also pause and resume your session from a different device (since a majority of business logic is handled by the server). vscode.dev runs fully in your web browser, and files are read from local disk. There is nothing in the cloud. So yes it is faster, but serves a different use case.
