Coder2

Coder2 + some little features:

fixuid
Easy SSL setup, kind of
~~SSH agent forwarding (only when it runs from terminal, and if the session is still alive)~~
Pass your SSH keys to the container
Pass your Git configs to the container

To build and start Coder, run bash up. (If you have not got a SSL certificate yet, check the section below before)

$ git clone https://github.com/cognitom/coder2-docker.git
$ cd coder2-docker

Set your own domain name for Coder and your password for authentification:

$ echo "export CODER_HOST='example.com'" >> ~/.bashrc
$ echo "export CODER_PASS='your-perfect-strong-password'" >> ~/.bashrc
$ echo "export CODER_PORT=8080" >> ~/.bashrc
$ source ~/.bashrc

Then, run:

$ bash up

Open http://example.com:8080 on your brwoser.

SSL Certificate

Let's get your certificate from Let's Encrypt. lego is exactly the tool for that.

You don't even need to install it. Just run lego via Docker:

$ docker run -it -v "${HOME}/.lego:/.lego" goacme/lego \
    --email="yourname@example.com" \
    --domains=$CODER_HOST \
    --dns=manual \
    run

I chose the manual method (--dns=manual) in the example command above, but there're many many options. Check it out here: https://go-acme.github.io/lego/dns/

Ready? Run bash up again, and open https://example.com:8080 on your brwoser.

Git user and email

Before commiting, you need to tell Git your name and email (if you haven't set them yet):

$ git config --global user.name "John Doh"
$ git config --global user.email "john.doh@example.com"

Then, your .gitconfig will be shared with the Coder container.
