VS Code on Android
The first thing you’ll need on your Android device is the following app: UserLAnd
Within the app I suggest setting up a Debian install of linux. You’ll also need some application to SSH into this instance of Debian and for that I suggest: JuiceSSH
Once Debian is installed and you’re able to connect into it with JuiceSSH we’ll proceed to the next steps.
# Download a release of code server
wget https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases/download/2.1698/code-server2.1698-vsc1.41.1-linux-arm64.tar.gz
# Uncompress the gzip tarball
tar -xvf ./code-server2.1698-vsc1.41.1-linux-arm64.tar.gz
# Copy the contents of code-server to /bin
cp ./code-server2.1698-vsc1.41.1-linux-arm64/code-server /bin
# Run the code server
./code-server --no-auth
At this point you should be able to open a browser in android and navigate to localhost:8080
