How can I install vscode-server in linux offline [duplicate]

  1. First get commit id
  2. Download vscode server from url: https://update.code.visualstudio.com/commit:${commit_id}/server-linux-x64/stable
  3. Upload the vscode-server-linux-x64.tar.gz to server
  4. Unzip the downloaded vscode-server-linux-x64.tar.gz to ~/.vscode-server/bin/${commit_id} without vscode-server-linux-x64 dir
  5. Create 0 file under ~/.vscode-server/bin/${commit_id}
commit_id=f06011ac164ae4dc8e753a3fe7f9549844d15e35

# Download url is: https://update.code.visualstudio.com/commit:${commit_id}/server-linux-x64/stable
curl -sSL "https://update.code.visualstudio.com/commit:${commit_id}/server-linux-x64/stable" -o vscode-server-linux-x64.tar.gz

mkdir -p ~/.vscode-server/bin/${commit_id}
# assume that you upload vscode-server-linux-x64.tar.gz to /tmp dir
tar zxvf /tmp/vscode-server-linux-x64.tar.gz -C ~/.vscode-server/bin/${commit_id} --strip 1
touch ~/.vscode-server/bin/${commit_id}/0

See this Gist download-vs-code-server for a more complete shell script that will also get the latest released commit SHA (from GitHub) so you do not need to supply it yourself.


[edited to add helpful comment in case comments disappear later:]

You can replace commit:<commit> with latest to get the latest release build. Example: https://update.code.visualstudio.com/latest/server-linux-x64/stable. Respects indicated quality i.e, stable, insider. – Doom5
