Deploy on DigitalOcean

This tutorial shows you how to deploy code-server to a single node running on DigitalOcean.

If you're just starting out, we recommend installing code-server locally. It takes only a few minutes and lets you try out all of the features. You can also try out the IDE on a container hosted by Coder


Use the "Create Droplets" wizard

Open your DigitalOcean dashboard to create a new droplet

  • Choose an image - Select the Distributions tab and then choose Ubuntu
  • Choose a size - We recommend at least 4GB RAM and 2 CPU, more depending on team size and number of repositories/languages enabled.
  • Launch your instance
  • Open a terminal on your computer and SSH into your instance

    example: ssh root@203.0.113.0

  • Once in the SSH session, visit code-server releases page and copy the link to the download for the latest linux release
  • In the shell run the below command with the URL from your clipboard
    wget https://github.com/codercom/code-server/releases/download/0.1.4/code-server-linux
    
  • If you run into any permission errors when attempting to run the binary:
    chmod +x code-server-linux
    

    To ensure the connection between you and your server is encrypted view our guide on securing your setup

  • Finally start the code-server
    sudo ./code-server-linux -p80
    

    For instructions on how to keep the server running after you end your SSH session please checkout how to use systemd to start linux based services if they are killed

  • When you visit the public IP for your Digital Ocean instance, you will be greeted with this page. Code-server is using a self-signed SSL certificate for easy setup. To proceed to the IDE, click "Advanced"
  • Then click "proceed anyway"

NOTE: If you get stuck or need help, file an issue, tweet (@coderhq) or email.
