[SUPPORT] Ahmad's Templates

[Ahmad]

I'm creating and maintaining a bunch of templates mainly around web development tools.

 

• Verdaccio: A lightweight Node.js private proxy registry
  https://verdaccio.org/
   

• Visual Studio Code Server: Run full VS Code on your own hardware!

  https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/vscode-server
   
• UniFi API Browser: pull raw, JSON formatted data from the API running on your UniFi Controller.

Hi,

 

There seems to be an error in plugin:

/usr/local/bin/start-vscode: line 6: VSCODE_SERVE_MODE: unbound variable

 

Prevents to start docker.

[ALERT]

I've created the VSCODR_SERVER_MODE with the value: serve-local and the container started without problem

oops, apologies for this, corrected the issue in the template: https://github.com/ahmadnassri/unraid-templates/commit/78c883529bb063681ca527e6792f9307c54c8d37 the next refresh of CA Community Applications will surface this fix, in the meantime: as @resuarezsaid, adding a variable named VSCODR_SERVER_MODE with value set to "local" will allow it to run properly.

 

note: this is in prep to allow the container to run as a remote target for vscode.dev (vs. local), however this is currently nonfunctional due to an issue: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/7018

"local": runs completely independently, locally on your unraid

"remote": allows the container to act as a remote target for vscode.dev, however, this is behind a beta invite for now, and as per previous post, is not functional due to an issue with vscode-server itself, and awaiting Microsoft to address my ticket.

 

for now stick to "local" until I announce it fully functional.

[Ahmad]

Microsoft crew just tagged the issue preventing "remote" mode being usable as a backlog candidate, they are looking for at least 10 votes to move it to the backlog: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/7018#issuecomment-1211196838

for Visual Studio Code Server does it need to be ran in Privileged mode?

are you referring to vscode?

 

you should be able to login with your Github / Microsoft accounts.

I think he meant when pulling up the GUI to enter a password of some sort like some of the the Open-VSCode ones do.   What is the  passkey for in the config by the way, I did think that was for some sort of GUI Passcode to be able to access?

The passkey is used in the `gnome-keyring-daemon` to remember your vscode login credentials for the settings sync feature between container runs.

 

see code here:

see info on settings sync here:

Not sure if you have seen the Linuxserver version of code-server. I think that is what the other user was referring to in terms of a password on a splash screen. I just switched to yours because it’s frankly better since I can run all extensions but the password protection would be a bonus

indeed I have (and used it for a bit), though that one is NOT the official VS-Code and hence it doesn't have the full extensions functionality as you indicated, hence why I made this one.

 

I don't plan on adding functionality beyond what the official image provides, so things like password protection can be achieved with a reverse proxy like Authelia and SWAG: https://www.linuxserver.io/blog/2020-08-26-setting-up-authelia
