WalkthroughThe add-on now persists Claude Code configuration in ChangesClaude Code support
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR persists Claude credentials and adds setup guidance, but migration can preserve incomplete credential files after interruption, existing credential directories may retain weak permissions, and the documented login flow can fail without additional PATH setup. These are localized but concrete merge-readiness issues, so fixes or explicit owner acceptance are needed before merging. Suggested reviewers: Poem

Good catch on the data-loss path — fixed in 92462b9. I went with a slightly different remedy than the suggested one. Using Behaviour checked against four cases: fresh install (link created), existing folder (contents migrated, then linked), copy failure (folder and credentials kept in place, no link written over them, no nesting), and a restart when the link already exists (idempotent). |
The editor uses the Open VSX registry, so GitHub Copilot cannot be installed, while the Claude Code extension can. Document both, including how to sign in from behind ingress, and persist ~/.claude in the add-on data folder so logins survive restarts and updates, matching what is already done for SSH and git.
A failed copy no longer falls through to removing the source folder, so a full disk or I/O error cannot destroy credentials that were not copied to /data. The symlink is now only created when nothing is left in its place, which also avoids nesting it inside a folder that was kept.

Claude Code splits its state over two locations: `~/.claude`, holding the credentials and the user settings, and `~/.claude.json`, holding the global configuration. Linking only the folder therefore persisted the login but still lost the configuration on every update. Both locations collapse into one when `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` is set, so export it for the code-server service instead. The extension host and the integrated terminals inherit it, which covers the extension as well as the bundled `claude` binary, and it removes the need to link anything into the home folder at all. Verified against the binary the extension ships (2.1.251, linux-x64). Without the variable, writing a user scoped setting creates both `/root/.claude.json` and `/root/.claude`. With it pointing at `/data/claude`, everything lands there and the home folder stays empty. The migration now copies both of the old locations, no longer overwrites files that are already persisted, and leaves the originals alone rather than removing them; they are simply no longer read.

After upgrading to this Studio Code Server release, Claude Code could no longer access or interact with devices and services on my local network. Operations were blocked with: Permission for this action was denied by the Claude Code auto mode classifier Restoring the previous Studio Code Server version immediately resolved the issue and all network-related operations started working again. If you use Claude Code to administer Home Assistant, Frigate, UniFi or other self-hosted services, you may want to test this release carefully before upgrading. |
Proposed Changes
Two related changes for using AI coding assistants in this add-on.
Persist
~/.claudein the add-on data folder. The Claude Code extension (Anthropic.claude-code) is published on Open VSX, so it installs in this add-on, and it stores its login under~/.claude. That path lives in the container's writable layer, so the login is lost on every add-on update. This follows the patterninit-useralready uses for~/.ssh,~/.gitconfigand the ZSH history: create the folder under/data, then symlink it into the home folder. Any existing content is migrated once, andln -sfnavoids nesting the symlink inside a pre-existing real directory — the failure mode reported in #1066 and fixed for.sshin #1098.Document what works. Two recurring questions get a "Using AI coding assistants" section in DOCS.md:
GitHub.copilotandGitHub.copilot-chatare published only on the Microsoft Marketplace and are absent from Open VSX, which is the registry code-server uses (Unable to install GitHub Copilot Chat extension in Studio Code Server #1120).vscode://URL cannot be delivered through ingress (Claude Code addon #1091).The section also covers putting the extension's bundled
claudebinary onPATHviainit_commands, and addinglibasound2t64viapackagesfor the optional voice input, so neither needs a change to the image.Verified on a live install: HA OS 18.2 amd64, add-on 6.0.1, code-server 4.106.2, extension 2.1.238.
