## Whats is code-server?

`code-server` is a self-hosted instance of Visual Studio Code that runs on a remote server and is accessible directly through your web browser. It effectively turns any machine with a CPU and RAM into a fully functional cloud-based development environment.

## Docker Compose Example

```yaml
{{% include "/srv/configs/docker_compose/code-server/docker-compose.yaml" %}}
```
