Open file in editor with sudo#5212

Sometimes i need to edit a file with sudo (Example: Adding new reverse proxy into caddy file).
I am fine by editing the file with sudo nano in the terminal, but it would be very convenient to open it in the running code server editor.
One workaround is to spawn a new code-server instance as sudo on a different port with the working directory pointing to root.
Does someone know if there ia a way to open a file or folder with sudo in the editor?

Hmm 🤔 I'm not sure to be honest. I foundthis but I don't think it's much different from your current workaround

cc@code-asher ideas?

I am not aware of any more convenient workarounds but I think desktop VS Code handles this by asking for the password so maybe we can enable that behavior in code-server.

@code-asher This would be a nice solution!

@code-asher Hi, i thought to ask if there any new updates regarding this request?

No updates; we have not looked into this. If we can reproduce in Codespaces it could be nice to raise the issue upstream.

Hi there! Any luck on this?

I am connected to Ubuntu 22.04 via remote VSCode, I am trying to edit files for other user, which I don't want to change their file permission for me to edit their files normally.

As of now I use Vim when editing files andSave as Root in Remote - SSH which can be hassle sometimes.

Also checking in on this… would be a great addition to code-server. 🙏

Agree, it would make remote tweaks to service and OS files insanely easy!

Incase anyone else is looking to do the same you can runexport EDITOR="code-server --wait" to achieve this. To make the settings persist, you should add it to your~/.bash_profile
