# code-server-deploy-container
|
|
|
|
An container image built for deploying code-server.
|
|
|
|
## Guides
|
|
|
|
- [Deploy on Railway](../guides/railway.md)
|
|
- [Deploy on Heroku](../guides/heroku.md)
|
|
|
|
Docker Hub: `bencdr/code-server-deploy-container`
|
|
|
|
To run the container locally, you can use:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
docker run -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 \
|
|
-v "$PWD/project:/home/coder/project" \
|
|
-u "$(id -u):$(id -g)" \
|
|
-e "DOCKER_USER=$USER" \
|
|
-e "PASSWORD=12345" \
|
|
-it bencdr/code-server-deploy-container:latest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Modifying your code-server environment
|
|
|
|
To update your code-server version, modify the version number on line 2 in your Dockerfile. See the [list of tags](https://hub.docker.com/r/codercom/code-server/tags?page=1&ordering=last_updated) for the latest version.
|
|
|
|
We've included some examples on how to add additoonal dependencies in the root-level [Dockerfile](../Dockerfile):
|
|
|
|
```Dockerfile
|
|
# Install a VS Code extension:
|
|
# Note: we use a different marketplace than VS Code. See https://github.com/cdr/code-server/blob/main/docs/FAQ.md#differences-compared-to-vs-code
|
|
RUN code-server --install-extension esbenp.prettier-vscode
|
|
|
|
# Install apt packages:
|
|
RUN sudo apt-get install -y ubuntu-make
|
|
|
|
# Copy files:
|
|
COPY deploy-container/myTool /home/coder/myTool
|
|
```
|
|
|

---
|
|
|
|
Other code-server environment variables (such as `CODE_SERVER_CONFIG` ) can also be used. See the [code-server FAQ](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/blob/main/docs/FAQ.md) for details.
|
|
|
|
## 💾 Persist your filesystem with `rclone`
|
|
|
|
This image has built-in support for [rclone](https://rclone.org/) so that your files don't get lost when code-server is re-deployed.
|
|
|
|
You can generate the rclone config on any machine, but it works great on the code-server environment itself, or Google Cloud Shell :)
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# 1. install rclone
|
|
# see https://rclone.org/install/ for other install options
|
|
$ curl https://rclone.org/install.sh | sudo bash
|
|
|
|
# 2. create a new rclone remote with your favorite storage provider ☁️
|
|
$ rclone config
|
|
|
|
# 3. Encode your rclone config and copy to your clipboard
|
|
$ cat $(rclone config file | sed -n 2p) | base64 --wrap=0 # Linux
|
|
$ cat $(rclone config file | sed -n 2p) | base64 --b 0 # MacOS
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now, you can add the following the environment variables in the code-server cloud app:
|
|
|
|
| Environment Variable | Description | Default Value | Required |
|
|
| -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | -------- |
|
|
| RCLONE_DATA | the encoded rclone config you copied in step 3 | n/a | ✅ |
|
|
| RCLONE_REMOTE_NAME | the name of the remote you added in step 2.<br />check with `$ rclone listremotes` | code-server-remote | |
|
|
| RCLONE_SOURCE | source directory to sync files in the code-server container | the project directory: `/home/coder/project` | |
|
|
| RCLONE_DESTINATION | the path in the remote that rclone syncs to. change this if you have multiple code-server environments, or if you want to better organize your files. | code-server-files | |
|
|
| RCLONE_VSCODE_TASKS | import push and pull shortcuts into VS Code  | true |
|
|
| RCLONE_AUTO_PUSH | automatically push files on startup if the rclone remote is empty (environment -> rclone remote) | true | |
|
|
| RCLONE_AUTO_PULL | automatically pull files on startup if the rclone remote is not empty (rclone -> environment remote) | true | |
|
|
| RCLONE_FLAGS | additional flags to attach to the push and pull script.<br />type `$ rclone help flags` for a list. | | |
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
|
|
# --- How to use ---
|
|
|
|
# Terminal:
|
|
$ sh /home/coder/push_remote.sh # save your uncomitted files to the remote
|
|
$ sh /home/coder/pull_remote.sh # get latest files from the remote
|
|
|
|
# In VS Code:
|
|
# use items in bottom bar or ctrl + P, run task: push_remote or pull_remote or
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Popular rclone flags
|
|
|
|
To avoid syncing unnecessary directories, add this to `RCLONE_FLAGS` :
|
|
|
|
```none
|
|
--exclude "node_modules/**" --exclude ".git/**"
|
|
```
|
