I love code-server! You can also run it without installing anything by using Docker, it's in the docs
# This will start a code-server container and expose it at http://127.0.0.1:8080.
# It will also mount your current directory into the container as `/home/coder/project`
# and forward your UID/GID so that all file system operations occur as your user outside
# the container.
#
# Your $HOME/.config is mounted at $HOME/.config within the container to ensure you can
# easily access/modify your code-server config in $HOME/.config/code-server/config.json
# outside the container.
mkdir -p ~/.config
docker run -it -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 \
-v "$HOME/.config:/home/coder/.config" \
-v "$PWD:/home/coder/project" \
-u "$(id -u):$(id -g)" \

So the answer is NO, you can't update VS Code as versions are released. You can update Code-OSS as versions are released, but it is behind the current version.
Additionally, the list of extensions is not complete. In particular, the remote ssh extension which I use ALL the time is not available due to licensing issues. I tried installing it manually, which I could easily do, but it doesn't work.
APART FROM THAT. It's fucking awesome. Just not something I will be able use for my day to day development tasks currently.

Yes of course you can! So enjoy it!
You can now literally code on the cloud via GitHub Codespaces!

Thanks I appreciate it, I've already subscribed for the beta version but I'm still waiting 😋
You'll love it promise!
That is cool! Is updating as new versions get released easy?
Yes of course! Just try it 🤓

really helpful
Happy to hear that 🤓
What about the hotkeys? I tried this approach in the past, but this was a blocking-issue...
