on team size and number of repositories/languages enabled), then
|
|
**Next: Configure Instance Details**.

|
- Select **Next: ...** until you get to the **Configure Security Group** page,
|
|
then add a **Custom TCP Rule** rule with port range set to `8443` and source
|
|
set to "Anywhere".
|
|
> Rules with source of 0.0.0.0/0 allow all IP addresses to access your
|
|
> instance. We recommend setting [security group rules](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/using-network-security.html?icmpid=docs_ec2_console)
|
|
> to allow access from known IP addresses only.
|
|
- Click **Launch**.
|
|
- You will be prompted to create a key pair.
|
|
- From the dropdown choose "create a new pair", give the key pair a name.
|
|
- Click **Download Key Pair** and store the file in a safe place.
|
|
- Click **Launch Instances**.
|
|
- Head to your [EC2 dashboard](https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home)
|
|
and choose instances from the left panel.
|
|
- In the description of your EC2 instance copy the public DNS (iPv4) address
|
|
using the copy to clipboard button.
|
|
- Open a terminal on your computer and SSH into your instance:
|
|
```
|
|
ssh -i ${path to key pair} ubuntu@${public address}
|
|
```

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.
|
|
- Open a terminal on your computer and SSH into your Google Cloud VM:
|
|
```
|
|
gcloud compute ssh --zone ${region} ${instance name}
|
|
```
|
|
# Run code-server
|
|
- Download the latest code-server release from the
|
|
[releases page](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases/latest)
|
|
to the instance, extract the file, then run the code-server binary:
|
|
```
|
|
wget https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases/download/{version}/code-server{version}-linux-x64.tar.gz
|
|
tar -xvzf code-server{version}-linux-x64.tar.gz
|
|
cd code-server{version}-linux-x64
|
|
./code-server
|
|
```
|
|
- Open your browser and visit http://$public_ip:8443/ where `$public_ip` is
|
|
your instance's public IP address.
|
|
- For long-term use, set up a systemd service to run code-server.
