Simple Run-Once Setup

[alec-hs]

I really like using Coder when on the move and only have an iPad or tablet with me but don't always want to keep a VM running so I made a script that will get Coder up and running in a few mins with minimal input.

Coder Cloudflare Setup

I have used and tested this with Hetzner Cloud VMs but it should work anywhere, it features the following:

• Single command setup
• HTTPS using Cloudflare and Lets Encrypt
• Set GUI Password
• Caddy Reverse Proxy

Current tested and supported Distros are:

• Debian 10
• Ubuntu 16.04.7 LTS

Any feedback, ideas or suggestions welcome.

This is awesome! I see that is solves a dns01 challenge, this is what is needed to also generate LetsEncrypt certificates. This would be perfect for setting a subdomain to proxy ports: https://github.com/cdr/code-server/blob/main/docs/FAQ.md#sub-domains.

While ports can be proxied via /proxy/[port], it is less reliable as many services like React are picky and want a root path. Would you be able to add the subdomain aspect to this? I created an issue: alec-hs/coder-cloudflare-setup#1

While the wildcard traffic can't be proxied under cloudflare (grey cloud) it can still be secure with the server's LE certificate.

I'll also mention this project in deploy-code-server under the "VMs" section

All done and added. Thanks for the help with the sub domain issue.

@alec-hs - we are working on v2.coder.com and was wondering if you'd like early access. We'd appreciate your feedback

Sure thing, that'd be great. Just signed up using the form on the site.
