So @javaarchive had managed to run this on Glitch (http://hyper-zesty-saturday.glitch.me/, hopefully he won’t kill me for revealing it publicly). It’s password protected and I’ll leave it to @javaarchive to explain how he managed to install it and stuff.
What if a glitch project went over the disk limit?
I have two dead instances (that don’t work) of CodeSpaces.
Probably suspend themselves.

Yeah - Wait…
I have the repl.it hacker plan -
you get UNLIMITED disk space
lets just hope codespaces isn’t too big. And I don’t break those terms and conditions.
Okay so, it seems like the disk space is running out, for the least tries we’ve done. I also had the issue about disk space, these are the bash commands, if someone’s out of curiosity how I managed to do so:
apt-get install wget openssl-tool proot -y && hash -r && wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EXALAB/AnLinux-Resources/master/Scripts/Installer/Ubuntu/ubuntu.sh && bash ubuntu.sh
./start-ubuntu.sh
wget https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases/download/2.1698/code-server2.1698-vsc1.41.1-linux-arm64.tar.gz
tar -xvf ./code-server2.1698-vsc1.41.1-linux-arm64.tar.gz
cp ./code-server2.1698-vsc1.41.1-linux-arm64/code-server /app
export PASSWORD="password"
I installed ubuntu here, dunno any other way. Also it seemed to throw some permission errors, that it cannot open the lock file.
And to clear that up: Yeah, it turns out we can’t really install codeserver on glitch (unless we have a boosted app?), it seems to take a lot of space, moreover not even feasible at this point.
I can host it on repl.it.
Could you share your workaround so?
Ok, I’ll share the repl
Sorry, but at the moment users cannot use apt or sudo.

I was wondering if everyone was ignoring this because there was something wrong with it. But it worked for me. I was able to install it with their standalone package:
#!/bin/sh -eux
CS_VERSION=3.7.1
if [ -x ~/.local/bin/code-server ]; then
exit 0
fi
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
cd /tmp
wget "https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases/download/v$CS_VERSION/code-server-$CS_VERSION-linux-amd64.tar.gz"
tar -xf "code-server-$CS_VERSION-linux-amd64.tar.gz"
ln -s "/tmp/code-server-$CS_VERSION-linux-amd64/bin/code-server" ~/.local/bin/
Anyway, it uses plenty of memory, but it’s still within parameters for an un-boosted project. Dunno how fast it grows with a larger project open though.
It takes about 300 MB on disk, which seems to be no sweat as long as you’re outside of /app.
app@sugary-internal-mascara:~ 01:23
$ du -sh /tmp/code-server-3.7.1-linux-amd64
300M /tmp/code-server-3.7.1-linux-amd64
app@sugary-internal-mascara:~ 01:32
$ df -h /tmp

/dev/xvda1 49G 21G 28G 43% /tmp
Can’t let the public see this demo because then they would be able to trash the project. But you could remix it and do cat /tmp/code-server-config.yaml to see the password for logging in to your own copy.
Some caveats:
- Setting
PASSWORDas an environment variable is broken in this version of code-server. so I rigged it up to use a config file in /tmp. - This takes up the www port that Glitch serves for you, so maybe (i) try out this https://github.com/cdr/code-server#alpha-program- hosted solution, (ii) set up a reverse proxy, or (iii) just work on something that isn’t a website.
Thanks for highlighting this thread @RiversideRocks

I wrote a similar script, but hardcoded the version. It went boom when that certain version somehow disappeared from github
and yes since I forgot to say, I did exactly what wh0 did except the logic was slightly different and I hardcoded the version
so basically it installs into /tmp the part that doesn’t change at all

So that’s how you got more disk space.
