Summary

This PR introduces statik-server, a heavily modified fork of code-server, rebuilt for sovereign, persistent, and portable AI development environments.

Major Features:

  • ✅ Built-in Headscale Mesh: Persistent, keyless, user-free mesh VPN for secure, global connectivity.
  • 🔐 GitHub Copilot Chat Integration: Full session persistence, enabling seamless AI pair programming.
  • 🌍 Global HTML Domain Signing: Internal mesh-based custom domain signing for portable, secure IDE access.
  • 💻 Patched VS Code Runtime: Mobile mirror routing, sovereign IDE usage, and statik-dashboard integration.
  • 🖥️ Linux Desktop Integration: Robust installer (install-app.sh) for CLI/GUI launchers, desktop entry, icon, and system integration.
  • 📄 OpenAPI v2 Swagger: Integrated definitions for all headscale v1 services.
  • 🧬 Protocol Buffers: Auto-generated .pb.go files for headscale protocol.
  • ⚙️ Isolated Mesh Logic: New Go module (internal/mesh/go.mod) for internal mesh management.
  • 🛠️ Bootstrapped Scripts: mesh-start.sh, startup.sh, build.sh for streamlined provisioning and runtime control.
  • 🌐 Full statik-dashboard Integration: Custom UI modules and browser routing for mobile and desktop.
    Purpose
  • Enable persistent Copilot + VSCode environments, backed by mesh-auth, portable HTML serving, and local key generation via statik-server. Designed for the Mobile-Mirror pipeline and sovereign, stateless deployments.

Architecture

  • Internal mesh wiring via mesh-start.sh
  • Custom startup and build scripts for rapid provisioning
  • Full browser routing rebuilt (src/browser/pages/statik-dashboard.*)
  • Stateless service mesh auth for local-first, sovereign deployment
  • Drop-in runtime via statik-server, deployable from terminal or desktop

Usage:

git clone https://github.com/statikfintechllc/statik-server.git
cd statik-server && install.sh

# If on linux theres an app :)

# or
./mesh-start.sh && ./quick-build.sh

Note

No external headscale dependencies at runtime; all mesh logic is internal and auditable.
All protobuf and swagger files are statically included for zero-runtime fetch and auditability.
Replaces expiring keys and manual Tailscale auth.
Desktop installer provides robust Linux integration (CLI, GUI, desktop entry, icon, status reporting).

Status

This is a standing fork, diverging significantly from upstream code-server. Not intended for merge without discussion—submitted for visibility, expansion, and reference.

Hi there! We really appreciate you, and always welcome contributions from people trying to make the product better. That said, this PR is incredibly hard to review, and GitHub's web UI is struggling to display exactly what changed

We're more than happy to accept equivalent changes, as long as those changes are submitted in PRs that are easier to review, and those changes are well-tested. We would generally prefer for PRs to be no more than 1500 lines long, though we are willing to make exceptions depending on the complexity of the changes.

In the meantime, though, we will unfortunately need to close this PR.
