Add code-server package to Debian/Ubuntu repositories upstream #2600

[-]Upload Package[/-][+]Add code-server package to Debian/Ubuntu repositories upstream[/+]on Jan 20, 2021 Originally we determined it'd be too much effort to get code-server into all these upstream repositories. The install script + github releases has been very streamlined for us but there's definitely value in users being able to install directly from their distro vendor.
I think this (https://askubuntu.com/questions/16446/how-to-get-my-software-into-ubuntu) is useful for beginning or discussing if you want a PPA or the Official Ubuntu repo
Given the release cadence of code-server versus Debian/Ubuntu I think it'd be better to just stand up a third party apt repo. The current .debs work fine.
Reacted by Aike de Jongste+1 for adding
code-serverto the main Debian/Ubuntu APT repository, or to create a PPA.
DEBs are already very nice, but doesn't allow automated updates.
Unless it would be preferred to code a self-updater but I don't think it would be easier.

Reacted by Joe Previte and NiceygyHi @code-asher, any news on an APT repo or a PPA or a flatpak ? Thanks
No, I have no plans on doing this, but if someone wants to set something up that automatically runs with the CI publish workflow or something, please feel free.
Hi,
A few months ago, I started developing a tool named dynapt to automatically fetch updates through APT for packages that don't provide an APT repository.
As I've been upgrading code-server through it for quite some time now, I just published my first pre-release of it, which you can download and set up from this tutorial.
For code-server specifically, replace the following configuration line :
"apps": []With the following :
"apps": [ { "name": "code-server", "github": { "repo": "coder/code-server", "filter": "*amd64*" } } ]
But also change
amd64toarm64if applicable.For questions or issues, please submit a comment on the tutorial page.
Thanks
