Coder is a cloud-based development environment that enables remote development on a platform. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Coder on FreeBSD Latest.
Before we proceed to install Coder, ensure that you have the following:
First, you will need to update the package list on your server. Run the following command:
sudo pkg update
Next, we need to install Docker and Docker Compose that Coder needs to run.
To install Docker, run:
sudo pkg install docker
After the installation is complete, add your non-root user to the docker group to allow them to run Docker commands without sudo:
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
To install Docker Compose, run:
sudo pkg install docker-compose
Create a directory where you will store your Coder installation, then clone the Coder repository:
mkdir ~/coder
cd ~/coder
git clone https://github.com/cdr/coder.git .
Coder uses a YAML file called config.yaml to store configuration options. Copy the config.example.yaml file and edit the hostname and password fields with your desired values:
cp config.example.yaml config.yaml
nano config.yaml
Once you have configured Coder, run the following command to start the container:
docker-compose up -d
This will start the container and expose it on port 8443.
You can now access Coder by going to https://<your-server-ip-or-domain>:8443 in your web browser.
You will be prompted to enter the username and password that you set in the config.yaml file.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Coder on FreeBSD Latest! You can now use Coder to remotely develop projects from anywhere in the world.
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!
