-# Railway Template Setup Guide
-
-Step-by-step guide to configure the Claude Code Server Railway template.
-
----
-
-## Template Metadata
-
-| Field | Value |
-|-------|-------|
-| **Name** | Claude Code Server |
-| **Description** | Claude Code in Browser – Full VS Code with AI coding assistants |
-| **Repository** | `sphinxcode/claude-code-server` |
-
----
-
-## Step 1: Create Template
-
-1. Go to [Railway Templates](https://railway.com/new/template)
-2. Select your GitHub repository: `sphinxcode/claude-code-server`
-3. Configure the template metadata as shown above
-
----
-
-## Step 2: Configure Variables
-
-### Required Variables
-
-| Variable | Type | Description |
-|----------|------|-------------|
-| `PASSWORD` | **Secret** | Login password for code-server |
-| `CLAUDER_HOME` | **Path** | Volume mount path (default: `/home/clauder`) |
-
-> ⚠️ **CRITICAL**: `CLAUDER_HOME` MUST match your volume mount path!
-

-
-| Variable | Default | Description |
-|----------|---------|-------------|
-| `CLAUDER_UID` | `1000` | User ID |
-| `CLAUDER_GID` | `1000` | Group ID |
-| `RUN_AS_USER` | `clauder` | Set to `root` if you need root access |
----
-
-## Step 3: Volume Configuration (REQUIRED)
-
-> ⚠️ **CRITICAL**: Without a volume, ALL data is lost on every redeploy!
-
-| Setting | Value |
-|---------|-------|
-| **Mount Path** | `/home/clauder` |
-| **Size** | 5GB+ recommended |
-| **Purpose** | Persists extensions, Claude auth, configs |
-
-**Important**: Set `CLAUDER_HOME` to match your volume mount path!
-
----
-
-## Step 4: Region Selection
-
-> 📍 **CRITICAL**: Select **US West** region for optimal performance.
-
-Railway region options:
-- ✅ `us-west1` (recommended)
-- `us-east4`
-- `europe-west4`
-- `asia-southeast1`
-
----
-
-## Step 5: Deploy Settings
-
-These are pre-configured in `railway.toml`:
-
-| Setting | Value |
-|---------|-------|
-| Health Check Path | `/healthz` |
-| Health Check Timeout | 300s |
-| Restart Policy | On Failure |
-| Max Retries | 10 |
-
----
-
-## Step 6: Publish Template
-
-1. Test the deployment with your own Railway account
-2. Verify Claude Code authentication works
-3. Confirm volume persistence across redeploys
-4. Publish the template
-

-### Template Title
-**Claude Code Server**
-
-### Template Tagline
-**Claude Code in Browser – YOLO Mode Enabled 🚀**
-
-### Template Description
-
-> **Full VS Code + Claude Code in your browser. YOLO mode ready.**
->
-> Skip the approval prompts. Claude runs with `--dangerously-skip-permissions` out of the box—just type `claude-auto` and let it cook.
->
-> **Why developers love it:**
-> - 🔥 **YOLO Mode** – No permission prompts, pure flow state
-> - ⚡ **Instant Setup** – Deploy in 60 seconds
-> - 💾 **Persistent** – Extensions & auth survive redeploys
-> - 🛡️ **Non-root** – Runs as `clauder` user for security
-> - 🧠 **Claude Code** – AI coding assistant built-in
->
-> Perfect for vibe coding, weekend hacks, and shipping fast.

-## Reference: Original Template Comparison
-
-| Old (code-server) | New (Claude Code Server) |
-|-------------------|--------------------------|
-| Generic VS Code | VS Code + Claude Code |

-Claude Code Server is a cloud-based VS Code environment with Claude Code CLI pre-installed. Deploy in 60 seconds and start AI-assisted coding directly in your browser. Runs as non-root `clauder` user with persistent storage for extensions, authentication, and workspace files.
+## Highlights
-## About Hosting Claude Code Server
+- Code on any device with a consistent development environment
+- Use cloud servers to speed up tests, compilations, downloads, and more
+- Preserve battery life when you're on the go; all intensive tasks run on your
+ server
-Hosting Claude Code Server on Railway provides a fully configured development environment accessible from any browser. The template handles user permissions, volume persistence, and Claude Code installation automatically. On first deploy, set your `PASSWORD` environment variable and attach a volume to `/home/clauder`. The entrypoint script manages permission fixes, user switching via `gosu`, and shell configuration. Your Claude authentication tokens, VS Code extensions, and workspace files persist across redeploys via the mounted volume.
+## Requirements
-## Common Use Cases
+See [requirements](https://coder.com/docs/code-server/latest/requirements) for minimum specs, as well as instructions
+on how to set up a Google VM on which you can install code-server.
-- **Remote AI-assisted development** – Code with Claude from any device with a browser
-- **Ephemeral dev environments** – Spin up isolated workspaces for experiments or client projects
-- **Team onboarding** – Pre-configured environments for new developers with tools ready to go
-- **CI/CD integration** – Use as a hosted development server for automated workflows
+**TL;DR:** Linux machine with WebSockets enabled, 1 GB RAM, and 2 vCPUs
-## Dependencies for Claude Code Server Hosting
+## Getting started
-- **Railway account** – Free tier available
-- **Anthropic API access** – For Claude Code authentication
+There are five ways to get started:
-### Deployment Dependencies
+1. Using the [install
+ script](https://github.com/coder/code-server/blob/main/install.sh), which
+ automates most of the process. The script uses the system package manager if
+ possible.
+2. Manually [installing
+ code-server](https://coder.com/docs/code-server/latest/install)
+3. Deploy code-server to your team with [coder/coder](https://cdr.co/coder-github)
+4. Using our one-click buttons and guides to [deploy code-server to a cloud
+ provider](https://github.com/coder/deploy-code-server) ⚡
+5. Using the [code-server feature for
+ devcontainers](https://github.com/coder/devcontainer-features/blob/main/src/code-server/README.md),
+ if you already use devcontainers in your project.

-### Implementation Details
+If you use the install script, you can preview what occurs during the install
+process:
```bash
-# YOLO mode - skip permission prompts
-claude --dangerously-skip-permissions
-
-# Or use the alias
-claude-auto
-
-# Interactive mode
-claude
+curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh -s -- --dry-run
```
-## Environment Variables
+To install, run:
-| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
-|----------|----------|---------|-------------|
-| `PASSWORD` | Yes | - | Login password for code-server |
-| `CLAUDER_HOME` | Yes | `/home/clauder` | Volume mount path |
-| `CLAUDER_UID` | No | `1000` | User ID |
-| `CLAUDER_GID` | No | `1000` | Group ID |
-| `RUN_AS_USER` | No | `clauder` | Set to `root` if needed |
+```bash
+curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh
+```
-## Volume Configuration
+When done, the install script prints out instructions for running and starting
+code-server.
-> ⚠️ **CRITICAL**: Without a volume, ALL data is lost on every redeploy!
