### Sharing with Duckly

As `code-server` is based on VS Code, you can follow the steps described on Duckly's [Pair programming with VS Code](https://duckly.com/tools/vscode) page and skip the installation step.

## Code sharing with CodeTogether

[CodeTogether](https://www.codetogether.com/) is another service with cross-platform live collaborative features:

- Sharing ports,
- Sharing, read/write terminals,
- Joining via web browser or another IDE.

However, some of these are [paid options](https://www.codetogether.com/pricing/).

### Installing the CodeTogether extension

1. Install the CodeTogether extension from OpenVSX on `code-server`.

```sh
SERVICE_URL=https://open-vsx.org/vscode/gallery \
ITEM_URL=https://open-vsx.org/vscode/item \
code-server --install-extension genuitecllc.codetogether
```

2. CodeTogether requires VS Code's proposed API to run. Start code-server with the following flag:

```sh
code-server --enable-proposed-api genuitecllc.codetogether
```

Another option would be to add a value in code-server's [config file](https://coder.com/docs/code-server/v3.11.1/FAQ#how-does-the-config-file-work).

3. Refresh code-server and navigate to the CodeTogether icon in the sidebar to host or join a coding session.
