VS Code (code-server) on Google Colab / Kaggle Notebooks / Anywhere

[abhishekkrthakur]

I made a small library/tool that one can use to have code-server on any machine which is connected to the internet (inspired by a recent article). I call it ColabCode. This is a small video I made demonstrating that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kTbM3D02jU

The repository is available here: https://github.com/abhishekkrthakur/colabcode

Quickstart:

• install colabcode: pip install colabcode
• import colabcode: from colabcode import ColabCode
• run: ColabCode(port=10000, password="abhishek")

Please let me know how you like it :)

This is so cool! Definitely one of the quickest ways to start a code-server environment with https! I love how you preinstalled some extensions too.

Can we use https://tunnelto.dev/ insted on ngork

@abhay-ranawat Yeah, it seems totally possible. You would just have to modify it in https://github.com/abhishekkrthakur/colabcode/blob/master/colabcode/code.py and install tunnel, and run the tunnel command as a subprocess instead of utilizing the ngork library.
