Deploy on Google Cloud

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

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

Deploy to Google Cloud VM

Pre-requisite: Please set up Google Cloud SDK on your local machine

  • Open your Google Cloud console to create a new VM instance and click Create Instance
  • Choose an appropriate machine type (we recommend 2 vCPU and 7.5 GB RAM, more depending on team size and number of repositories/languages enabled)
  • Choose Ubuntu 16.04 LTS as your boot disk
  • Check the boxes for Allow HTTP traffic and Allow HTTPS traffic in the Firewall section
  • Create your VM, and take note of its public IP address.
  • Copy the link to download the latest Linux binary from our releases page

Final Steps

  • SSH into your Google Cloud VM
gcloud compute ssh --zone [region] [instance name]
  • Find the latest Linux release from this URL:
https://github.com/codercom/code-server/releases/latest
  • Replace {version} in the following command with the version found on the releases page and run it (or just copy the download URL from the releases page):
wget https://github.com/codercom/code-server/releases/download/{version}/code-server-{version}-linux-x64.tar.gz
  • Extract the downloaded tar.gz file with this command, for example:
tar -xvzf code-server-{version}-linux-x64.tar.gz
  • Navigate to extracted directory with this command:
cd code-server-{version}-linux-x64
  • Make the binary executable if you run into any errors regarding permission:
chmod +x code-server

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

  • Start the code-server
sudo ./code-server-linux -p 80

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

  • Access code-server from the public IP of your Google Cloud instance we noted earlier in your browser.

example: 32.32.32.234

  • 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.
