Deploying code-server on Azure App Service. Can use --link or an Azure domain. This uses the codercom/code-server base image, so it will always use the latest version of code-server.
- OpenSSH (connect via Azure's portal)
- Domain+TLS (Provided by --link or Azure)
- Authentication (Provided by --link or password)
- A mini redirect web server (if running --link)
- Create a new web app from Azure's portal
- Deploy this container from the Docker Hub:
bencdr/code-server-azure - Track the status of your deployment via the "Deployment Center"
- Hit "Browse" on the app overview page to visit your code-server workspace
After deploying, you can configure with the following settings (Settings > Configuration > Application Settings)
LINK_NAME: A custom name used for code-server --link (ex.[linkname]-githubusername.cdr.co)PASSWORD: Password to log into code-server. Adding this will disable the use of --linkGIT_REPO: A public git repo to clone (see #3)START_DIR: The directory code-server opens (default:/home/coder/project)DISABLE_SSH: Disable SSH access via the Azure portal, saves resources
The web server may not redirect to the --link URL correctly off the bat. Restarting the app or waiting for the deployment to complete may fix the issue. After authenticating with GitHub, a single refresh may be necessary to connect to code-server.
You can connect to your code server instance via SSH under Development Tools -> SSH. Logs for code-server and the mini web server are stored in /home/coder/.
By default, Azure does not have logging enabled. To enable logs, go to "Monitoring -> App Service Logs" and turn on. Retention period can be set to 1 day. Then, you can preview logs under "Monitoring > Log Stream" or via the Azure CLI:
$ az webapp log tail --name [app] --resource-group [resource group]
