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.

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
  • Expand the "Management, security, disks, networking, sole tenancy" section, go to the "Networking" tab, then under network tags add "code-server"
  • Create your VM, and take note of its public IP address.
  • Visit "VPC network" 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.
  • 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/cdr/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/cdr/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 
    ./code-server
  • Open your browser and visit https://$public_ip:8443/ (where $public_ip is your Compute Engine 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.
