# deploying `code-server` on Linode
|
|
|
|
[DigitalOcean](https://digitalocean.com) is an developer-friendly platform with cloud servers. Here is the easiest way to launch code-server on Linode:
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
1. Log into DigitalOcean and create a new Ubuntu 20.10 droplet with any size, in any region
|
|
1. Under "Select additional options," check `User data`. This will allow you to specify a script that will run on first boot.
|
|
1. Paste in the contents of [launch-code-server.sh](../deploy-vm/launch-code-server-linode.sh) to the textarea.
|
|
1. Create your server. Feel free to add SSH keys or other preferences.
|
|
1. Once your server starts, you can simply navigate to the IP address and get forwarded to a secure version of code-server, which will be proxied behind your GitHub account. For information on how this works, see [code-server --link](https://github.com/cdr/code-server#cloud-program-%EF%B8%8F).
