Install Flow
How to self-host VS Code
VS Code can be deployed with standard Docker Compose using the Yantr app catalog. This page collects the basic information searchers usually need first: what VS Code does, which Docker image Yantr uses, default ports, deployment notes, and where to find the original compose template.
After deployment, Yantr lets you publish additional ports from the stack page using Docker-style syntax. Use 8080:8080 for a fixed host port or just 8080 to let Docker assign a random port.
Use Cases
What people run it for
- Develop and debug applications remotely using a full-featured IDE accessible through any modern web browser.
- Manage servers and configure systems via a secure web-based terminal (use sudo with the install password to become root inside the container).
- Collaborate with team members by sharing access to your development environment without requiring local IDE installations.
- Work consistently across devices with synchronized settings, extensions, and workspace configurations.

Notes
Things to know before you deploy
- The password for the web UI is auto-generated on install (strong random value).
- The same password is used for `sudo` inside the integrated terminal (so you can run apt, install packages, etc.).
- Data persistence is handled through a named Docker volume to preserve settings and installed extensions.
- Access the interface at https://your-domain:8443 or http://your-server-ip:8443 in your browser.
