# Remote Development on Azure VMs (Linux)
|
|
|
|
Provision Azure Linux VMs as [Coder workspaces](https://coder.com/docs/workspaces) with this example template.
|
|
|
|
<!-- TODO: Add screenshot -->
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
### Authentication
|
|
|
|
This template assumes that coderd is run in an environment that is authenticated
|
|
with Azure. For example, run `az login` then `az account set --subscription=<id>`
|
|
to import credentials on the system and user running coderd. For other ways to
|
|
authenticate, [consult the Terraform docs](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/azurerm/latest/docs#authenticating-to-azure).
|
|
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
|
|
This template provisions the following resources:
|
|
|
|
- Azure VM (ephemeral, deleted on stop)
|
|
- Managed disk (persistent, mounted to `/home/coder`)
|
|
|
|
This means, when the workspace restarts, any tools or files outside of the home directory are not persisted. To pre-bake tools into the workspace (e.g. `python3`), modify the VM image, or use a [startup script](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/coder/coder/latest/docs/resources/script). Alternatively, individual developers can [personalize](https://coder.com/docs/dotfiles) their workspaces with dotfiles.
|
|
|
|
> **Note**
|
|
> This template is designed to be a starting point! Edit the Terraform to extend the template to support your use case.

|
## code-server
|
|
|
|
`code-server` is installed via the `startup_script` argument in the `coder_agent`
|
|
resource block. The `coder_app` resource is defined to access `code-server` through
|
|
the dashboard UI over `localhost:13337`.
