From choice to app

A short path to
a usable deployment.

  1. 01

    Choose code-server

    The page opens the exact console template. Pick a server size and one of six locations, then submit.

  2. 02

    Set access

    There is no username. Sign in with the password you set at deploy time. The same password unlocks sudo in the terminal.

  3. 03

    Let it start

    The console tracks provisioning, gives the app a generated HTTPS address and shows host CPU and memory after launch.

  4. 04

    Make it yours

    Sign in with your password. The same password unlocks sudo in the terminal. Open /config/workspace or clone a repository from the terminal.

Know before deploy

The operational details
that matter.

The editor sits behind the password you set at deploy time and never starts open. Settings, extensions and the workspace in /config/workspace persist across restarts.
