Coder enables organizations to set up development environments in their public or private cloud infrastructure. Cloud development environments are defined with Terraform, connected through a secure high-speed Wireguard® tunnel, and automatically shut down when not used to save on costs. Coder gives engineering teams the flexibility to use the cloud for workloads most beneficial to them.
Define cloud development environments in Terraform
EC2 VMs, Kubernetes Pods, Docker Containers, etc.
Automatically shutdown idle resources to save on costs
Onboard developers in seconds instead of days
The most convenient way to try Coder is to install it on your local machine and experiment with provisioning cloud development environments using Docker (works on Linux, macOS, and Windows).
# First, install Coder curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh # Start the Coder server (caches data in ~/.cache/coder) coder server # Navigate to http://localhost:3000 to create your initial user, # create a Docker template and provision a workspace
The easiest way to install Coder is to use our
install script for Linux
and macOS. For Windows, use the latest ..._installer.exe file from GitHub
Releases.
curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh
You can run the install script with --dry-run to see the commands that will be used to install without executing them. Run the install script with --help for additional flags.
See install for additional methods.
Once installed, you can start a production deployment with a single command:
# Automatically sets up an external access URL on *.try.coder.appcoder server# Requires a PostgreSQL instance (version 13 or higher) and external access URLcoder server --postgres-url <url> --access-url <url>
Use coder --help to get a list of flags and environment variables. Use our install guides for a complete walkthrough.
