Requires Docker installed and running, designed to work with WSL on Windows.

in plain english

This project lets you run a full version of Visual Studio Code, the popular programming editor, entirely inside your web browser. Instead of installing VS Code as a desktop app on your computer, you start it as a Docker container and access it by visiting a specific web address. This means you can write and edit code from almost any device, since the actual editor and your files live on the server or machine running the container. The setup uses Ubuntu as its foundation and comes with a PHP development environment already installed, so it is ready to go for web development out of the box. You can also install VS Code extensions, just like you would in the desktop version, and add any other tools or programming languages you need. The project is specifically designed to work with WSL, which is a way to run Linux tools inside Windows. This would be useful for developers or teams who want a portable, consistent coding environment that travels with them. For example, if you switch between a Windows laptop, a Chromebook, and a tablet, you could keep your coding setup on a home server or cloud machine. As long as you can open a browser, you can pick up right where you left off. It also serves as a quick way to sandbox a PHP project or test code in an isolated environment. The project includes instructions for extending the tool into existing Docker setups. You can take the VS Code server component and copy it into another container you already use, effectively adding a browser-based code editor to your own custom environment. The README does not go into deep detail on advanced configuration, but the core promise is straightforward: a browser-based VS Code experience running on Ubuntu.
