Coder in your Kube/Docker/OpenShift cluster

Coder in Docker

[Try the Demo]

This is a distribution of Coder's Visual Studio Code in browser designed to work for CNCF-compliant orchestators.

Running

We maintain two tags that has a specific container orchestrator usage.

  • For OpenShift use the chinodesuuu/coder:openshift image.
  • Kubernetes and anything else can use the chinodesuuu/coder:vanilla/chinodesuuu/coder:latest image.
  • A codercom-like stack is chinodesuuu/coder:ubuntu image. This does not work in OpenShift, unfortunately.

Keep in mind that Coder in Kubernetes does not play well with non-PVC mounts, sudo tends to fail to work with the volume mount on hostMount or NFS volumes, so make sure you set nosuid for the mount.

After the pull has been done, make sure you bound to port 9000 and mount a volume in /home/coder/projects.

Enabling SSL or Auth

to enable auth, make sure you set the environment variable CODER_ENABLE_AUTH to true.

when CODER_ENABLE_AUTH is set to true, you must provide your password via CODER_PASSWORD else, it defaults to "coder".

To enable SSL, mount your certificates' dir to /home/coder/certs and set CODER_ENABLE_SSL to true.

Keep in mind for SSL, your files should be named as follows:

  • coder.crt for the Certificate chain.
  • coder.key for the Certificate key.

If you didn't name your files as such - it will be invalid and Coder will refuse to work.
