Deploy and Host VSCodium in your browser on Railway

VSCodium, the telemetry-free build of VS Code, running as a full desktop app in the cloud and streamed to any browser. Write and run code from any device with extensions and a terminal, while your projects stay on a volume.

About Hosting VSCodium in your browser

The template runs the open source LinuxServer.io image vscodium:latest as one Railway service. VSCodium runs inside a minimal desktop and is streamed to your browser over Railway's HTTPS domain on port 3000. HTTP basic auth protects it with CUSTOM_USER and a generated PASSWORD that you copy from the service Variables. A volume is mounted at /config, so your projects, extensions and settings survive restarts and redeploys. The first boot takes a minute or two.

Common Use Cases

Coding from a Chromebook, iPad or locked-down work computer
A telemetry-free VS Code with Open VSX extensions
A remote dev environment that keeps running when your laptop is closed

Dependencies for VSCodium in your browser Hosting

No other services: one container plus a volume
Any modern browser on the device you open it from

Implementation Details

Open the Railway domain and sign in with CUSTOM_USER and PASSWORD; VSCodium opens full screen. Upload and download files and copy and paste between your device and the cloud through the side panel. Give the service at least 2 GB of memory. Image: lscr.io/vscodium:latest (https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-vscodium).
