Provision remote development servers anywhere on anything.
Workspaces:
- Code on powerful servers: leverage cloud GPU, GPU, and network speeds
- Use the
coderCLI: connect via SSH, VS Code, and JetBrains - Self-serve workspaces: start from team-wide templates (see below)
Templates:
- Manage the infrastructure behind workspaces with standard Terraform (
.hclfiles) - Use any OS and architecture: Mac, Windows, Linux, VM, Kubernetes, ARM, etc
- Auto-shutdown or update workspaces when they're not in use!
TODO: succintly list value props
Coder workspaces are represented with terraform. But, no terraform knowledge is required to get started. We have a database of pre-made templates here. Terraform empowers you to create environments on anything, including:
- VMs across any cloud
- Kubernetes across any cloud (AKS, EKS, GKS)
- Dedicated server providers (Hetzner, OVH)
- Linux, Windows and MacOS environments
Coder workspaces don't stop at compute. You can add storage buckets, secrets, sidecars and whatever else Terraform lets you dream up.
We recommend installing the latest release on a system with at least 1 CPU core and 2 GB RAM:
- Download the release appropriate for your operating system
- Unzip the folder you just downloaded, and move the
coderexecutable to a location that's on yourPATH
Make sure you have the appropriate credentials for your cloud provider (e.g., access key ID and secret access key for AWS).
You can set up a temporary deployment, a production deployment, or a system service:
-
To set up a temporary deployment, start with dev mode (all data is in-memory and is destroyed on exit):
coder server --dev
-
To run a production deployment with PostgreSQL:
CODER_PG_CONNECTION_URL="postgres://<username>@<host>/<database>?password=<password>" \ coder server -
To run as a system service, install with
.deb(Debian, Ubuntu) or.rpm(Fedora, CentOS, RHEL, SUSE):# Edit the configuration! sudo vim /etc/coder.d/coder.env sudo service coder restart
Use
coder --helpto get a complete list of flags and environment variables.
See the installation guide for additional ways to deploy Coder.
In a new terminal window, run the following to copy a sample template:
coder templates initFollow the CLI instructions to modify and create the template specific for your usage (e.g., a template to Develop in Linux on Google Cloud).
Create a workspace using your template:
coder create --template="yourTemplate" <workspaceName>Connect to your workspace via SSH:
coder ssh <workspaceName>You can edit the Terraform template using a sample template:
coder templates init
cd gcp-linux/
vim main.tf
coder templates update gcp-linuxRead the contributing docs.
