code-server

The GitHub Codespaces and Gitpod alternative

From $10 / month · billed monthly · cancel anytime

10 GB storage

Code-server runs the core of VS Code in your browser, with a built-in terminal, Git tools, and extensions from Open VSX. Your projects, editor settings, and installed extensions persist across restarts, and a generated password protects the workspace from first boot. This deployment is a focused personal coding workspace: it does not include a Docker socket, nested containers, GPUs, or a customizable machine image.

Frequently asked

How much does it cost to host code-server?
Hosting code-server on Zenith is $10 / month, billed monthly until you cancel.
How long does code-server take to deploy?
Most apps are live on your own subdomain in about two minutes after you deploy.
Do I need to manage a server to run code-server?
No. Zenith runs code-server for you, with no servers to provision or maintain.
Can I use my own domain with code-server?
Yes. Each deployment gets a Zenith subdomain, and you can map your own custom domain to it afterwards.
Can I manage code-server with Claude or another AI agent?
Yes. Zenith has a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server at https://zenith.hosting/mcp. Add the endpoint from Claude, Cursor or another MCP client, connect your account, and ask the agent to deploy, configure, inspect or delete your code-server deployment. The agent can read and set environment variables. Write-only secrets stay hidden; generated credentials may be returned. Deployment inspection reports live status, HTTPS reachability and summarized resource usage without exposing credentials. A paid deployment requires price approval. Deletion permanently removes the deployment and its data after separate confirmation. Setup is at https://zenith.hosting/connect.
