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 -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

  • 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"
