Additional information

Currently I'm using code-server on Termux within an Ubuntu chroot (the idea came from @adarosecannon's medium post).

What I did was:
Making the Ubuntu chroot (I used the 20.04 branch though). And the following steps within that chroot:

```bash
$ wget https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases/download/3.4.1/code-server-3.4.1-linux-arm64.tar.gz
$ tar -xvf ./code-server-3.4.1-linux-arm64.tar.gz
$ rm ./code-server-3.4.1-linux-arm64.tar.gz
$ mv code-server-3.4.1-linux-arm64 /lib/code-server
$ ln -s /lib/code-server/bin/code-server /bin/code-server
$ apt-get install net-tools # it also works fine without net-tools but it gives some warnings
````

It works perfectly, but I have to maintain dependencies within the Ubuntu chroot now, too.
So it would be great if it would simply be natively available as a termux package.
The releases contain a packaged node version, too in case that makes any difference.

This is how it looks like:

You can install it directly in termux with yarn global add code-server, discussed in this issue: https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/issues/5416.
We generally don't provide packages for things that can be installed through other package managers so I'll close this

In termux , yarn add code-server

@Grimler91 oops difference of couple of seconds

I just created a step-by-step tutorial for installing code-server in Termux. I'm linking it here in case someone needs it:
