Coder is a cloud-based development environment that allows you to run a complete IDE in your web browser. It is a great tool for remote collaboration and highly scalable development. Here are the steps to install Coder on Alpine Linux.
Coder is deployed as a Docker container, so you'll need to install Docker first. You can install Docker using the following command:
apk add docker
Start Docker using the following command:
service docker start
You can install Coder using Docker. Use the following command to download and install the latest version of Coder:
docker pull codercom/code-server
Now that you have downloaded the Coder image, you can create a container to run it. Use the following command:
docker run -it -p 8080:8080 -p 8443:8443 codercom/code-server
-it flag starts the container in interactive mode.-p flag maps the port of the container to the host port. In this case, port 8080 and 8443 are mapped.Once the container is up and running, you can access Coder by opening your web browser and navigating to the following URL:
http://<your-server-ip>:8080
You should see the Coder login page. Enter the password or token created during the install process and click "Login". You'll be redirected to Coder's IDE.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed and launched Coder on Alpine Linux. You can now use it for your development, and remote collaboration needs.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
