Deployment

DigitalOcean App Platform

Codea Studio Code can be deployed as a web application on DigitalOcean App Platform, providing a browser-based development environment accessible from anywhere.

Prerequisites

• A DigitalOcean account
• Repository access on GitHub

Deployment Steps

1. Fork or clone this repository to your GitHub account
2. Navigate to DigitalOcean App Platform
3. Click Create App and select GitHub as your source
4. Authorize DigitalOcean to access your repository
5. Select your forked repository
6. DigitalOcean will automatically detect the .do/app.yaml configuration
7. Review the configuration and click Next through the deployment wizard
8. Click Create Resources to begin the build and deployment process

The application will be available at https://your-app-name.ondigitalocean.app once deployment completes.

Deployment Configuration

The deployment configuration is defined in .do/app.yaml with the following specifications:

Build Settings:

• Build Command: npm install --include=dev && npm run gulp compile-client compile-web
• Run Command: node scripts/code-web.js --host 0.0.0.0 --port ${PORT}
• Instance Size: Basic (XS) - 512 MB RAM, 1 vCPU
• HTTP Port: 8080

HTTPS Configuration: The postinstall script automatically patches @vscode/test-web to trust X-Forwarded-Proto headers from reverse proxies. This ensures that when deployed behind DigitalOcean's load balancer (which terminates TLS), all asset URLs are correctly generated with https:// instead of http://, preventing mixed content errors.

Environment Variables:

• NODE_ENV=production - Production environment configuration
• VSCODE_SKIP_ELECTRON_HEADERS=true - Skips Electron header installation for web-only deployment
• PORT=8080 - Application port

Managing Built-in Extensions

The Alia AI extension is automatically bundled during the build process. To update to a new version:

1. Update the extension reference:

   # Fetch and update to the latest release
   npm run update-alia-extension
   
   # Or update to a specific version
   npm run update-alia-extension 1.0.1

2. Commit and deploy:

   git add product.json
   git commit -m "Update Alia AI extension to v1.0.1"
   git push origin main

The update script automatically:

• Fetches the latest release from the Alia AI Extension repository
• Downloads and verifies the extension package
• Calculates the SHA256 checksum
• Updates product.json with the new version and hash

The next deployment will automatically download and bundle the updated extension.

Development Container

This repository includes a Dev Container configuration for Codea Studio Code Dev Containers and GitHub Codespaces.

• For Dev Containers, use the command: Dev Containers: Clone Repository in Container Volume...
• For Codespaces, use the command: Codespaces: Create New Codespace

The container should have at least 4 Cores and 6 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended).
