Please also set environment file. There is a instance the User environment is not being used by systemd.

@sr229 The Environment file can't work it has wrong formart systemd expects a other formart it will not execute that file with if else statements.
VAR=VALUE

On Ubuntu 16.04 the Standard* options were not recognized. I ended up with the following systemd unit (I anyways prefer logging to go to journald):
[Unit]
Description=VSCode in a browser
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=simple
User=myuser
EnvironmentFile=$HOME/.profile
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=10
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/code-server --allow-http --port 1234 --no-auth --disable-telemetry $HOME/dev-workspace
ExecStop=/sbin/start-stop-daemon --stop -x /usr/local/bin/code-server
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

I think a more viable alternative is to log this to journald if needed.

We should always be logging to journald.

Describe in detail the problem you had and how this PR fixes it
I needed this extra piece of information and had to get it from another source. Might be convenient to include it here.
Is there an open issue you can link to?
No.
