Oh, this will simplify the build process for us as well! |
Can you elaborate? |
I'm working on VSCode Server support in CodeSandbox, and we have a build step where we build vscode server and tar it, so the server can download it. We need to build VSCode server with an old version of Node, though, because our current environment has a glibc version that's too high. Also, we need to ship standalone Node to our VMs. So this would remove both steps (building in Docker, and shipping standalone Node ourselves). |

@CGNonofr nice work. Was mostly AFK over extended easter weekend. |
There is no point of building the server when Microsoft already does it for us
It allows to simplifies the build process but also simplifies the usage in a docker environment: you don't need node or npm, the VSCode server is a standalone
