Installing Coder on k3s

Create an Ubuntu 20.10 machine with the minimum system requirements for Coder, and as many running workspaces as you need.
Install kubectl and helm
Change the SSH port to 5522 and restart SSH: guide
Set up a k3s cluster with Calico, following this guide: https://docs.projectcalico.org/getting-started/kubernetes/k3s/quickstart
If you run into an error installing Calico OR installing Coder with helm, set kubeconfig var ~/.bashrc: k3s-io/k3s#1126 (comment)
Edit /etc/cni/net.d/10-calico.conflist and set allow_ip_forwarding to true.
[To be safe] Set allow_ip_forwarding to true in the ConfigMap as well: kubectl edit cm cni-config -n calico-system
Install Coder as normal: https://coder.com/docs/setup/installation

Writing Coder Dockerfiles

It often makes sense to create a custom images that include the dependencies, scripts, preferences necessary for development. For information on how to create, build push Docker images, follow this tutorial by Docker.

As a start, we recommdend you start by extending one of our Enterprise Example Images and extending them. If you need to use another base image, we recommend reading over our image minimums to ensure the image works with most Coder features.

FROM codercom/enterprise-base:ubuntu

RUN apt-get install -y ...
COPY file ./

Notes for installing codekube

A git submodule init && git submodule update is necessary after the git clone, or person should clone with:

git clone --recurse-submodules -j8 https://git.nofla.me/k8s-projects/kubecfg-public

In google cloud, I had to change the service type to a LoadBalancer manually.

I started (from /docs on 01.31.20)

Note: The most recent docs on https://coder.com/docs/setup/kubernetes/google include clearer install docs.

Moving from Visual Studio Codespaces to code-server

Recently, Microsoft announced that all VS Codespaces are migrating to GitHub. At this time, support for self-hosted Codespaces will be removed in favor of GitHub's cloud environments.

If you are looking to host a VS Code server on your own infastructure, code-server is the solution.

Use VS Code in the browser (terminal, integrations, extensions) 🧩
Authenticate via password (or another auth + reverse proxy) 🔑
Encrypt with HTTPS 🔒
Host on any machine (Mac, Linux, WSL) 🖥
