# 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](../../self-hosted/index.md). 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](http://coder.com/signup)
---
## Use the "Create Droplets" wizard
[Open your DigitalOcean dashboard](https://cloud.digitalocean.com/droplets/new) 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](https://github.com/codercom/code-server/releases/) and copy the link to the download for the latest linux release
- 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
```
- If you run into any permission errors when attempting to run the binary:
```
chmod +x code-server
```
> To ensure the connection between you and your server is encrypted view our guide on [securing your setup](../../security/ssl.md)
- Finally 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](https://www.linode.com/docs/quick-answers/linux/start-service-at-boot/) 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"**<img src ="../../assets/chrome_warning.png">
- Then click **"proceed anyway"**<img src="../../assets/chrome_confirm.png">
