Remote Development on Azure VMs (Linux)

Provision Azure Linux VMs as Coder workspaces with this example template.

Prerequisites

Authentication

This template assumes that coderd is run in an environment that is authenticated with Azure. For example, run az login then az account set --subscription=<id> to import credentials on the system and user running coderd. For other ways to authenticate, consult the Terraform docs.

Architecture

This template provisions the following resources:

• Azure VM (ephemeral, deleted on stop)
• Managed disk (persistent, mounted to /home/coder)

This means, when the workspace restarts, any tools or files outside of the home directory are not persisted. To pre-bake tools into the workspace (e.g. python3), modify the VM image, or use a startup script. Alternatively, individual developers can personalize their workspaces with dotfiles.

Note This template is designed to be a starting point! Edit the Terraform to extend the template to support your use case.

code-server

code-server is installed via the startup_script argument in the coder_agent resource block. The coder_app resource is defined to access code-server through the dashboard UI over localhost:13337.
