Build in Docker

To build for Linux, you can alternatively build VSCodium in docker

Firstly, create the container with:

docker run -ti --volume=<local vscodium source>:/root/vscodium --name=vscodium-build-agent vscodium/vscodium-linux-build-agent:bionic-x64 bash

When inside the container, you can use the following commands to build:

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs desktop-file-utils

npm install -g yarn

git clone https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium.git

cd vscodium

./get_repo.sh

export SHOULD_BUILD=yes
export OS_NAME=linux
export VSCODE_ARCH=x64

./build.sh
