This page describes the Levelrail template for code-server (Developer Tools). It deploys the services below as one Docker Compose app on your own server. Project site: [https://coder.com/docs/code-server](https://coder.com/docs/code-server).

Recommended memory: about 512 MiB.

## Services, ports and volumes

| Service | Image | Container ports | Volumes |
| - | - | - | - |
| `code-server` | `codercom/code-server:4.93.1` | 8080 | `code_server_data -> /home/coder/project` |

## Environment variables

| Service | Variable | Value |

## Deploy code-server with Levelrail

In the dashboard, open **Apps**, choose **New app**, then **Browse templates**, and select code-server. Review the Compose body and deploy.

With the CLI:
