Coder

- Rollout critical updates to your developers with one command
Automatically shut down expensive cloud resources
Keep your source code and data behind your firewall

Code more

Build and test faster
- Leveraging cloud CPUs, RAM, network speeds, etc.
Access your environment from any place on any client (even an iPad)
Onboard instantly then stay up to date continuously

Getting Started

Note: Coder is in a beta state. Report issues here.

The easiest way to install Coder is to use our install script for Linux and macOS.

To install, run:

curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh

You can preview what occurs during the install process:

curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh -s -- --dry-run

You can modify the installation process by including flags. Run the help command for reference:

curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh -s -- --help

See install for additional methods.

Once installed, you can start a production deployment¹ with a single command:

# Automatically sets up an external access URL on *.try.coder.app
coder server

# Requires a PostgreSQL instance and external access URL
coder server --postgres-url <url> --access-url <url>

¹ The embedded database is great for trying out Coder with small deployments, but do consider using an external database for increased assurance and control.

Use coder --help to get a complete list of flags and environment variables. Use our quickstart guide for a full walkthrough.
