# Deploy on DigitalOcean
|
|
|
|
This tutorial shows you how to deploy `code-server` to a single node running on DigitalOcean.
|
|
|
|
If you're just starting out, we recommend
|
|
[installing code-server locally](self-hosted-docs). It takes only a few minutes
|
|
and lets you try out all of the features locally.
|
|
|
|
If you get stuck or need help at anytime, [file an issue](create-issue),
|
|
[tweet (@coderhq)](twitter-coderhq) or [email](email-coder).

### Recommended: Using the Marketplace
|
|
|
|
[](https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/code-server?action=deploy)
|
|
|
|
1. On the **Create Droplets** page, choose a plan for your new code-server
|
|
instance. We recommend picking an instance with at least 4 GB of RAM and 2
|
|
CPU cores, or more depending on team size and number of
|
|
repositories/languages enabled.
|
|
2. Optionally enable backups and add block storage.
|
|
3. Choose the closest available region to your physical location to reduce
|
|
latency.
|
|
4. Select an SSH key that you already have in your account, or click **New SSH
|
|
Key** and follow the tutorial on how to make your own SSH key.
|
|
5. Click **Create Droplet**, then click on the droplet to expand it.
|
|
6. While you're waiting for the droplet to deploy, copy the **IPv4** address.
|
|
7. Once the droplet is ready, connect using SSH with the key you specified or
|
|
created earlier. You should be greeted with information on how to access your
|
|
code-server instance and how to view/change the password.
|
|
> You can SSH into your server using PuTTY or by running
|
|
> `ssh root@(paste ipv4 address here)`.
|
|
8. In the droplet's terminal, run `cat /etc/code-server/pass` to view the
|
|
code-server password.
|
|
9. Open your browser and visit `https://$public_ip` (where `$public_ip`
|
|
is your Droplet'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**.

### Using the "Create Droplets" Wizard
|
|
|
|
If you used the Marketplace to set up code-server, you don't need to follow this
|
|
section.
|
|
|
|
[Open your DigitalOcean dashboard](create-droplet) to create a new droplet.
|
|
|
|
1. **Choose an image:** Select the **Distributions** tab and then choose
|
|
**Ubuntu 18.04.3 (LTS) x64**.
|
|
2. **Choose a size:** We recommend at least 4GB RAM and 2 CPU, or more depending
|
|
on team size and number of repositories/languages enabled.
|
|
3. Select an SSH key that you already have in your account, or click **New SSH
|
|
Key** and follow the tutorial on how to make your own SSH key.
|
|
4. Click **Create Droplet**, then click on the droplet to expand it.
|
|
5. While you're waiting for the droplet to deploy, copy the **IPv4** address.
|
|
6. Once the droplet is ready, connect using SSH with the key you specified or
|
|
created earlier. You should be greeted with information on how to access your
|
|
code-server instance and how to view/change the password.
|
|
> You can SSH into your server using PuTTY or by running
|
|
> `ssh root@(paste ipv4 address here)`.
|
|
7. If you get a warning about an unknown server key fingerprint, type "yes" to
|
|
approve the remote host.
|
|
8. You should see a prompt for your Droplet like so:
|
|

|
|
9. At this point it is time to download the `code-server` binary. We will, of
|
|
course, want the linux version. Find the latest code-server release from the
|
|
[GitHub releases](code-server-latest) page.
|
|
10. Right click the Linux x64 `.tar.gz` release asset and copy the URL. In the
|
|
SSH terminal, run the following command:
|
|
```
|
|
wget (paste the URL here)
|
|
```
|
|
11. Extract the downloaded file with the following command:
|
|
```
|
|
tar -xvzf code-server*.tar.gz
|
|
```
|
|
12. Navigate to extracted directory with this command:
|
|
```
|
|
cd code-server*/
|
|
```
|
|
13. Ensure the code-server binary is executable with the following command:
|
|
```
|
|
chmod +x code-server
|
|
```
|
|
14. Finally, to start code-server run this command:
|
|
```
|
|
./code-server
|
|
```
|
|
12. code-server will start up, and the password will be printed in the output.
|
|
Make sure to copy the password for the next step.
|
|
13. Open your browser and visit `https://$public_ip:8443/` (where `$public_ip`
|
|
is your Droplet'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**.

### Post Installation Steps
|
|
|
|
To ensure the connection between you and your server is encrypted, view our
|
|
guides on [securing your setup](security-guide).
|
|
|
|
For instructions on how to keep the server running after you end your SSH
|
|
session please checkout [how to use systemd](systemd-guide). systemd will run
|
|
code-server for you in the background as a service and restart it for you if it
|
|
crashes. (Note: this doesn't apply for users of the Marketplace Droplet image.)
