Deploying code-server on a VM

A simple startup script to run code-server with --link on a VM, designed to run on Ubuntu 20.10.

Coming soon: One-click templates in popular marketplaces.

In this repo

• launch-code-server.sh - Command tested on Ubuntu machines (uses --link)
• launch-linode.sh - launch-code-server.sh adapted for Linode

Troubleshooting

• Ensure you have port 80 open on your server's firewall

• SSH or use the built-in console to connect to your workspace

  1. Check the code-server status

     systemctl status code-server@coder
     
     # if not working:
     systemctl restart code-server@coder
     

  2. Ensure journalctl is capturing logs

     journalctl -u code-server@coder
     

  3. Ensure the HTTP redirect server is working

     systemctl status coder-cloud-redirect
     
     # systemctl restart coder-cloud-redirect
