These docs contain examples and guides for how to setup your images to utilize the Multi Editor Support built into Coder Enterprise.

Each directory contains examples for how to setup your images with different IDEs.

Multi Editor Support

Multi Editor Support is currently in alpha, see known issues for more details.

Coder Enterprise has full support for a wide range of editors including VSCode, the JetBrains suite, Eclipse, and many more. These editors are run in the remote environment and rendered directly in the browser. The multi editor support is bundled with a window management system to give the application the look and feel of a native local application. This provides the best of both worlds -- the security and productivity of remote infrastructure with the native look and feel of the local machine.

Installing an IDE into your docker image:

Installing an IDE into your image can be done using the same methods that you would normally use when installing the IDE onto your local machine. Code-server is able to find and start the following IDEs if their binaries exist in your PATH:

intellij-idea-ultimate
intellij-idea-community
webstorm
eclipse
goland
pycharm
phpstorm
clion
rider
rubymine
datagrip
oni
monodevelop
emacs

Required Packages

The following packages are required in your image if you're using an IDE other than VSCode to ensure that it can communicate properly with code-server.

Deb Package	Rpm Package	Package Description
openssl	openssl	Secure Sockets Layer Toolkit
libxtst6	libXtst	X11 Testing Library
libxrender1	libXrender	X Rendering Extension Client Library
libfontconfig1	fontconfig	Generic Font Configuration Library
libxi6	libXi	X11 Input Extension Library
libgtk-3-0	gtk3	GTK+ Graphical User Interface Library

How does IDE licensing work?

Licensing for IDEs running via code-server are licensed in the same way that they are when running them on your local machine. If your IDE requires a license for use locally, it will still require one when running it through code-server.

What editors are known to work?

VSCode
IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate and Community editions
WebStorm
Eclipse - GTK Based
PyCharm
GoLand
PhpStorm
RubyMine
CLion
Rider
DataGrip
Emacs
Vim
Oni
MonoDevelop

Known Issues

Reconnects don’t currently work, if your internet connection is unstable or goes out, we recommend using the built in VSCode IDE until we can resolve this issue.
Opening and closing an application many times can cause code-server to get into a broken state. We recommend minimizing the opens and closes of a single application until we’re able to resolve this.
Resizing the application window too quickly can cause it to enter into an unexpected state. Please resize slowly to ensure things work as expected.
GTK based applications are not registering keyboard input successfully. We recommend using non GTK based IDEs until we can resolve this issue.
