[Coder](https://coder.com) is a self-hosted platform for cloud development environments and AI coding agents. Workspaces are defined with Terraform, connected through a secure Wireguard® tunnel, and automatically shut down when not used. Coder Agents runs a native AI coding agent whose loop executes in the control plane on your infrastructure, with no API keys in workspaces. - Define cloud development environments in Terraform - EC2 VMs, Kubernetes Pods, Docker Containers, etc. - Automatically shutdown idle resources to save on costs - Onboard developers in seconds instead of days - Delegate coding work to AI agents on your infrastructure - Bring any model (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Bedrock, self-hosted) - No LLM credentials in workspaces, user identity on every action - Centralized model governance, cost tracking, and audit logging

## Quickstart > Check out our [install guides](https://coder.com/docs/install) for other methods and a complete tutorial. Try Coder with the [install script](https://github.com/coder/coder/blob/main/install.sh) on Linux and macOS, or grab the latest binary or installer from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases/) on Windows: ```shell curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh ``` Start the server and open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) to create your initial user, create a Docker template, and provision your first workspace: ```shell coder server ``` For a production deployment, add a PostgreSQL database (version 13 or later) and an external access URL, and see our [validated architectures](https://coder.com/docs/admin/infrastructure/validated-architectures) for sizing and infrastructure guidance: ```shell coder server --postgres-url --access-url ``` Without these flags, Coder uses a built-in database and sets up a `*.try.coder.app` access URL for evaluation. Use `coder --help` for the full list of flags and environment variables. ## Documentation Browse the [documentation](https://coder.com/docs) or visit a specific section below: - [**Workspaces**](https://coder.com/docs/user-guides/workspace-management): Workspaces contain the IDEs, dependencies, and configuration information needed for software development - [**Templates**](https://coder.com/docs/admin/templates): Templates are written in Terraform and describe the infrastructure for workspaces - [**Coder Agents**](https://coder.com/docs/ai-coder/agents): Delegate coding work to AI agents running on your self-hosted infrastructure - [**AI Gateway**](https://coder.com/docs/ai-coder/ai-gateway): Centralize authentication, auditing, and cost controls for AI tooling - [**Administration**](https://coder.com/docs/admin): Learn how to operate Coder - [**Premium**](https://coder.com/pricing#compare-plans): Learn about paid features built for large teams - [**IDEs**](https://coder.com/docs/user-guides/workspace-access): Connect your existing editor to a workspace ## Support [Open an issue](https://github.com/coder/coder/issues/new) for bugs and feature requests.
