# Deploy on Google Cloud Platform
|
|
|
|
This tutorial shows you how to deploy `code-server` to a single node running on
|
|
Google Cloud Platform.
|
|
|
|
If you're just starting out, we recommend
|
|
[installing code-server locally](self-hosted-docs). It takes only a few minutes
|
|
and lets you try out all of the features locally.
|
|
|
|
If you get stuck or need help at anytime, [file an issue](create-issue),
|
|

## Deploy to Google Cloud VM
|
|
|
|
[Open your Google Cloud console](create-instance) to create a new VM instance.
|
|
|
|
1. Click **Create Instance**.
|
|
2. Choose an appropriate machine type (we recommend 2 vCPU and 7.5 GB RAM, or
|
|
more depending on team size and number of repositories/languages enabled).
|
|
3. Choose **Ubuntu 16.04 LTS** as your boot disk.
|
|
4. Expand the **Management, security, disks, networking, sole tenancy** section,
|
|
go to the **Networking** tab, then under network tags add `code-server`.
|
|
5. Create your VM, and **take note** of its public IP address.
|
|
6. Visit **VPC networks** in the console and go to **Firewall rules**. Create a
|
|
new firewall rule called `http-8443`. Under **Target tags**, add
|
|
`code-server`, and under **Protocols and ports** tick **Specified protocols and
|
|
ports** and **tcp**. Beside **tcp**, add `8443`, then create the rule.

## Final Steps
|
|
|
|
Please [set up Google Cloud SDK](gcloud-sdk) on your local machine, or access
|
|
your instance terminal using another method.
|
|
|
|
<!-- TODO: add a screenshot of the initial terminal like other guides -->
|
|
|
|
1. SSH into your Google Cloud VM:
|
|
```
|
|
gcloud compute ssh --zone [region] [instance name]
|
|
```
|
|
2. At this point it is time to download the `code-server` binary. We will, of
|
|
course, want the linux version. Find the latest code-server release from the
|
|
[GitHub releases](code-server-latest) page.
|
|
3. Right click the Linux x64 `.tar.gz` release asset and copy the URL. In the
|
|
SSH terminal, run the following command:
|
|
```
|
|
wget (paste the URL here)
|
|
```
|
|
4. Extract the downloaded file with the following command:
|
|
```
|
|
tar -xvzf code-server*.tar.gz
|
|
```
|
|
5. Navigate to extracted directory with this command:
|
|
```
|
|
cd code-server*/
|
|
```
|
|
6. Ensure the code-server binary is executable with the following command:
|
|
```
|
|
chmod +x code-server
|
|
```
|
|
7. Finally, to start code-server run this command:
|
|
```
|
|
./code-server
|
|
```
|
|
8. code-server will start up, and the password will be printed in the output.
|
|
Make sure to copy the password for the next step.
|
|
9. Open your browser and visit `https://$public_ip:8443/` (where `$public_ip`
|
|
is your Instance's public IP address). You will be greeted with a page
|
|
similar to the following screenshot. code-server is using a self-signed SSL
|
|
certificate for easy setup. In Chrome/Chromium, click **Advanced** then
|
|
click **proceed anyway**. In Firefox, click **Advanced**, then **Add
|
|
Exception**, then finally **Confirm Security Exception**.

### Post Installation Steps
|
|
|
|
To ensure the connection between you and your server is encrypted, view our
|
|
guides on [securing your setup](security-guide).
|
|
|
|
For instructions on how to keep the server running after you end your SSH
|
|
session please checkout [how to use systemd](systemd-guide). systemd will run
|
|
code-server for you in the background as a service and restart it for you if it
|
|
crashes.
