Features

• Claude Code & Node.js 20 pre-installed
• Extensions persist across redeployments
• Volume-installed tools take priority (update when YOU want)
• Custom startup scripts supported

---

Quick Start

# Claude Code ready to use
claude

# Node.js ready to use  
node --version
npm --version

---

How Updates Work

Component	Behavior
Volume tools	YOU control updates. Install to ~/.local/node/ or ~/.claude/local/
Image tools	Auto-update on redeploy (fallback if no volume version)
Extensions	Never reset (persisted on volume)

The startup logs show [volume] or [image] next to each tool.

---

Environment Variables

Variable	Required	Default	Description
PASSWORD	Yes	-	Login password
CODER_HOME	No	/home/coder	Volume mount path

---

Custom Volume Path

If you change the volume mount location:

CODER_HOME=/your/volume/path

Everything adapts automatically.

---

Custom Startup Scripts

Add to $CODER_HOME/entrypoint.d/:

#!/bin/bash
git config --global user.name "Your Name"

Make executable: chmod +x script.sh

---

Troubleshooting

Issue	Check
Wrong Node version	Look for [volume] vs [image] in logs
Extensions missing	Verify volume at CODER_HOME
Claude not found	Run which claude to verify PATH
