| -## Guide: Launching code-server on Heroku |
| 5 | +[Railway](https://railway.app) is a new cloud development platform! ☁️ Use Railway + code-server to get a dev environment that you can access from any device. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +## Step 1: Click to deploy [](https://railway.app/new?template=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fbpmct%2Fcode-server-railway&envs=PASSWORD%2CGIT_REPO&PASSWORDDesc=Your+password+to+log+in+to+code-server+with&GIT_REPODesc=A+git+repo+to+clone+and+open+in+code-server+%28ex.+https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fcdr%2Fdocs.git%29) |

| 9 | +--- |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +## Step 2: Configure & launch your environment |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +You'll need to make a new repository which will contain your code-server configuration. If you push changes to this repo (to install NodeJS, for example), it will re-deploy code-server. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +You also need to specity a `PASSWORD` and a `GIT_REPO` to clone in your environment :) |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +## Step 3: Modify your environment to add additional tools |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +1. In Railway, go to `Deployments -> Triggers` to see your source repo. |
| 24 | +1. Open the source repo in GitHub and edit the `Dockerfile` |
| 25 | +1. Add some custom tools (like NodeJS) and commit to the main branch: |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | + ```Dockerfile |
| 28 | + # You can add custom software and dependencies for your environment here. Some examples: |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | + # RUN code-server --install-extension esbenp.prettier-vscode |
| 31 | + # RUN sudo apt-get install -y build-essential |
| 32 | + # RUN COPY myTool /home/coder/myTool |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | + # Install NodeJS |
| 35 | + RUN sudo curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_15.x | sudo bash - |
| 36 | + RUN sudo apt-get install -y nodejs |
| 37 | + ``` |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +1. Head back to Railway and notice a new deployment was created. After it has completed, you can use these tools in your environment. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +1. (Optional): [Configure rclone](https://github.com/bpmct/deploy-code-server/tree/main/deploy-container#-persist-your-filesystem-with-rclone) so that you can save your VS Code config and files without commiting |
