3. In your browser navigate to `localhost:8080`.
## Usage
Run `code-server --help` to view available options.
### Encrypting traffic with HTTPS
To encrypt the traffic between the browser and server use `code-server --cert`
followed by the path to your certificate. Additionally, you can use certificate
keys with `--cert-key` followed by the path to your key. If you pass `--cert`
without any path code-server will generate a self-signed certificate.
You can use [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/) to get an SSL certificate
for free.
### Nginx Reverse Proxy
The trailing slashes are important.
```
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name code.example.com code.example.org;
location /some/path/ { # Or / if hosting at the root.
2019-08-09 00:21:45 +08:00
proxy_pass http://localhost:8080/;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection upgrade;
proxy_set_header Accept-Encoding gzip;
}
}
```
### Apache Reverse Proxy
```
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName code.example.com
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Upgrade} =websocket [NC]
2019-08-09 00:21:45 +08:00
RewriteRule /(.*) ws://localhost:8080/$1 [P,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Upgrade} !=websocket [NC]
2019-08-09 00:21:45 +08:00
RewriteRule /(.*) http://localhost:8080/$1 [P,L]
ProxyRequests off
RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto https
RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Port 443
