Volume Mounts

Recommended External Mounts

For better persistence and performance, mount these directories externally:

Container Path	Purpose	Description
/home/coder/project	Workspace	Main workspace directory
/home/coder/.local/share/code-server	VS Code Data	Extensions, settings, and user data
/home/coder/.npm	npm Cache	npm global cache
/home/coder/.local/share/pnpm	pnpm Store	pnpm package store
/home/coder/go	Go Packages	GOPATH for user-installed Go packages
/home/coder/.cache/uv	uv Cache	uv Python package cache
/home/coder/.cache/pip	pip Cache	pip package cache
/home/coder/.m2/repository	Maven Repo	Maven local repository

Minimal Setup

docker run -d \
  --name ide-code-server \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -v $(pwd)/project:/home/coder/project \
  -v $(pwd)/code-server:/home/coder/.local/share/code-server \
  -e PASSWORD=yourpassword \
  ghcr.io/your-username/ide-code-server:latest

Full Setup with All Mounts

docker run -d \
  --name ide-code-server \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -v $(pwd)/project:/home/coder/project \
  -v $(pwd)/code-server:/home/coder/.local/share/code-server \
  -v $(pwd)/npm:/home/coder/.npm \
  -v $(pwd)/pnpm:/home/coder/.local/share/pnpm \
  -v $(pwd)/go:/home/coder/go \
  -v $(pwd)/cache/uv:/home/coder/.cache/uv \
  -v $(pwd)/cache/pip:/home/coder/.cache/pip \
  -v $(pwd)/m2:/home/coder/.m2/repository \
  -e PASSWORD=yourpassword \
  ghcr.io/your-username/ide-code-server:latest

Docker Compose

Minimal Configuration

services:
  ide-code-server:
    image: ghcr.io/your-username/ide-code-server:latest
    volumes:
      - ./project:/home/coder/project
      - ./code-server:/home/coder/.local/share/code-server
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
    environment:
      - PASSWORD=yourpassword
    restart: unless-stopped

Full Configuration with All Mounts

services:
  ide-code-server:
    image: ghcr.io/your-username/ide-code-server:latest
    volumes:
      # Workspace
      - ./project:/home/coder/project
      # VS Code extensions and settings
      - ./code-server:/home/coder/.local/share/code-server
      # Node.js package caches
      - ./npm:/home/coder/.npm
      - ./pnpm:/home/coder/.local/share/pnpm
      # Go packages (GOPATH)
      - ./go:/home/coder/go
      # Python package caches
      - ./cache/uv:/home/coder/.cache/uv
      - ./cache/pip:/home/coder/.cache/pip
      # Maven local repository
      - ./m2:/home/coder/.m2/repository
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
    environment:
      - PASSWORD=yourpassword
    restart: unless-stopped

Benefits of External Mounts

1. VS Code Extensions (/home/coder/.local/share/code-server)

   • Extensions persist across container rebuilds
   • Share extensions between containers
   • Faster startup after rebuild

2. Package Caches (/home/coder/.npm, /home/coder/.local/share/pnpm, etc.)

   • Avoid re-downloading packages
   • Share caches between containers
   • Faster dependency installation

3. Language Packages (/home/coder/go, /home/coder/.m2/repository)

   • Persist globally installed packages
   • Go tools installed via go install
   • Maven dependencies cached locally

Mounting Entire /home/coder Directory

You can mount the entire /home/coder directory for maximum persistence:

docker run -d \
  --name ide-code-server \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -v $(pwd)/coder-home:/home/coder \
  -e PASSWORD=yourpassword \
  ghcr.io/your-username/ide-code-server:latest

Auto-Initialization

When /home/coder is mounted (especially as an empty directory), the container automatically initializes:

File	Purpose
.bashrc	PATH restoration, rbenv initialization, and legacy rbenv path migration
.gemrc	Ruby China mirror configuration
.m2/settings.xml	Maven Aliyun mirror configuration
.config/pip/pip.conf	pip Tsinghua mirror configuration

Required directories are also created automatically. Legacy shell entries that reference /home/coder/.rbenv are automatically migrated to /opt/rbenv during startup.

System Tools (Not Affected by Mounts)

The following components are installed in system directories and remain available regardless of volume mounts:

Component	Location	Tools
Go Tools	/opt/go-tools/bin	gopls, dlv, golangci-lint, goimports
Ruby (rbenv)	/opt/rbenv	ruby, gem, rails, bundler
Python/conda	/opt/conda	python, pip, conda
JDK	/opt/temurin-21-jdk	java, javac, jar
Maven	/opt/apache-maven	mvn
Kafka	/opt/kafka	kafka-topics, kafka-console-consumer, kafka-console-producer

Installed Languages

Language	Version	Tools	Mirror
Go	1.26.1	gopls, delve, golangci-lint	goproxy.cn
Python	3.13	uv, conda	pypi.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn
Node.js	22 LTS	npm, pnpm, yarn	npmmirror
JDK	21	Maven 3.9.11	Aliyun
Ruby	4.0.2	Rails, Bundler	Ruby China
