code-server-boilerplates/starter-packor manually copy the contents oftoolkits/virtual-machines/linode-bootstrapper. - Give your server a label and deploy with Ubuntu 20.10 (or later) and any size.
Once your server starts, you can simply navigate to the IP address
and get forwarded to a secure version of code-server, which will
be proxied behind your GitHub account. For information on
how this works, see
code-server --link. - Optional but recommended: To change the URL in the address bar
from
linode-[xxxx]to something more descriptive, you just need to change your hostname and restart code-server:
sudo hostnamectl set-hostname that-should-be-done
sudo systemctl restart code-server@coder
