Code Server (VS Code in the browser)

Muppy manages Code-Server — the open-source VS Code server from coder.com — on any host it manages, be it bare metal, a VM, or an LXC.

Once activated, the IDE is reached from the server's form, at a URL Muppy publishes and protects.

Activating Code-Server on new servers

Open the Application Definition, tab Code Server. Under Activation policy per qualifier, four toggles decide the initial state of Code-Server on the servers provisioned from this definition:

• Dev
• Test
• Staging
• Prod

These set the initial value only. Each server can still be toggled individually afterwards.

Activating Code-Server on an existing server

Open the server's form (from the Development, Test, Staging or Production menu), then:

1. open the Code-Server tab,
2. switch Activate Code-Server on,
3. click (re)Configure Code-Server.

The same tab also holds Default Opened Folder, and — once the configuration has run — the Code Server record and its Code-Server URL.

Removing Code-Server

Click Remove Code-Server, next to the (re)Configure button on the same tab.

Opening Code-Server

From the server's form:

1. copy the password with the clipboard button next to Code Server password,
2. click Open Code-Server in the button box,
3. paste the password in the Code-Server login page and submit.

From the kanban view, the Code-Server icon on the card opens the IDE and copies the password to the clipboard in the same gesture — paste it and submit.
