An image built for deploying code-server to railway.app.
To launch your code-server environment, click the button below and log in with GitHub.
It will ask you to make a new repo to store this image, so you can add additional software to your repo's Dockerfile in the future.
This image has built-in support for rclone so that your files don't get lost when code-server is re-deployed. Here's how you can set it up.
You can do this on any machine, but we recommend using Google Cloud Shell for a consistent environment.
# 1. install rclone
# see https://rclone.org/install/ for other install options
$ curl https://rclone.org/install.sh | sudo bash
# 2. create a new rclone remote with your favorite storage provider
$ rclone configure
# 3. Encode your rclone config and copy to your clipboard
$ cat $(rclone config file | sed -n 2p) | base64 --wrap=0 # Linux
$ cat $(rclone config file | sed -n 2p) | base64 --b 0 # MacOSNow, add the following the environment variables in the code-server cloud app:
| Environment Variable | description | default value | required |
|---|---|---|---|
| RCLONE_DATA | the encoded rclone config you copied in step 3 | n/a | ✅ |
| RCLONE_REMOTE_NAME | the name of the remote you added in step 2. check with $ rclone listremotes |
code-server-remote | |
| RCLONE_SOURCE | source directory to sync files in the code-server container | the entire home directory: /home/coder/ |
|
| RCLONE_DESTINATION | the path in the remote that rclone syncs to. change this if you have multiple code-server environments | code-server-files |
