```docker run -it -p 127.0.0.1:8443:8443 -e PASSWORD='yourpassword' -v "${PWD}:/home/coder/project" codercom/code-server --allow-http```

If you're using versions older than 1.903-vsc1.33.1, you must use the --password argument.

```./code-server --allow-http --password "yourpassword"```

```docker run -it -p 127.0.0.1:8443:8443 -v "${PWD}:/home/coder/project" codercom/code-server --allow-http --password "yourpassword"```

### Data Directory
Use `code-server -d (path/to/directory)` or `code-server --data-dir=(path/to/directory)`, excluding the parentheses to specify the root folder that VS Code will start in.
