3. Start Coder with `docker-compose up`:

In order to use cloud-based templates (e.g. Kubernetes, AWS), you must set `CODER_ACCESS_URL` to the external URL that users and workspaces will use to connect to Coder.
In order to use cloud-based templates (e.g. Kubernetes, AWS), you must have an external URL that users and workspaces will use to connect to Coder.

For proof-of-concept deployments, you can use [Coder's tunnel](../admin/configure.md#tunnel):

```console
```sh
cd coder

CODER_TUNNEL=true docker-compose up
```

For production deployments, we recommend setting an [access URL](../admin/configure.md#access-url):

```sh
cd coder

CODER_ACCESS_URL=https://coder.example.com
CODER_ACCESS_URL=https://coder.example.com # URL that
docker-compose up
```
