linuxserver/codiad
THIS IMAGE IS DEPRECATED. PLEASE MIGRATE TO CLOUD9 IF POSSIBLE
linuxserver/cloud9 Codiad is a web-based IDE framework with a small footprint and minimal requirements. We have added a few plugins. More can be added in the marketplace in the WebUI.
Supported Architectures
Our images support multiple architectures such asx86-64, arm64 and armhf. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here. Simply pulling
linuxserver/codiad should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.The architectures supported by this image are:
| Architecture | Tag |
|---|---|
| x86-64 | amd64-latest |
| arm64 | arm64v8-latest |
| armhf | arm32v7-latest |
Usage
Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.docker
docker create \
--name=codiad \
-e PUID=1000 \
-e PGID=1000 \
-e TZ=Europe/London \
-p 80:80 \
-v path to data:/config \
--restart unless-stopped \
linuxserver/codiaddocker-compose
Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.```
version: "2" services: codiad:image: linuxserver/codiad
container_name: codiad
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- TZ=Europe/London
volumes:
- path to data:/config
ports:
- 80:80
restart: unless-stopped## Parameters
Container images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate `external:internal` respectively. For example, `-p 8080:80` would expose port `80` from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port `8080` outside the container.

## User / Group Identifiers
When using volumes (`-v` flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user `PUID` and group `PGID`.
Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.
In this instance `PUID=1000` and `PGID=1000`, to find yours use `id user` as below:
$ id usernameuid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)
## Support Info
* Shell access whilst the container is running: `docker exec -it codiad /bin/bash`
* To monitor the logs of the container in realtime: `docker logs -f codiad`
* container version number
* `docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' codiad`
* image version number
* `docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/codiad`
## Updating Info
Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. With some exceptions (ie. nextcloud, plex), we do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Please consult the [Application Setup](#application-setup) section above to see if it is recommended for the image.
Below are the instructions for updating containers:
### Via Docker Run/Create
* Update the image: `docker pull linuxserver/codiad`
* Stop the running container: `docker stop codiad`
* Delete the container: `docker rm codiad`
* Recreate a new container with the same docker create parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your `/config` folder and settings will be preserved)
* Start the new container: `docker start codiad`
* You can also remove the old dangling images: `docker image prune`
### Via Docker Compose
* Update all images: `docker-compose pull`
* or update a single image: `docker-compose pull codiad`
* Let compose update all containers as necessary: `docker-compose up -d`
* or update a single container: `docker-compose up -d codiad`
* You can also remove the old dangling images: `docker image prune`
### Via Watchtower auto-updater (especially useful if you don't remember the original parameters)
* Pull the latest image at its tag and replace it with the same env variables in one run:
```
docker run --rm \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
containrrr/watchtower \
--run-once codiad
```
* You can also remove the old dangling images: `docker image prune`
## Building locally
If you want to make local modifications to these images for development purposes or just to customize the logic:
git clone https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-codiad.git
cd docker-codiad
docker build \
--no-cache \
--pull \
-t linuxserver/codiad:latest .
The ARM variants can be built on x86_64 hardware using `multiarch/qemu-user-static`
docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static:register --reset
```Once registered you can define the dockerfile to use with
-f Dockerfile.aarch64.Versions

Serve Codiad on your own domain behind Caddy, Nginx or Traefik. Fill in your domain and copy the result. It's a starting point, some apps need their own base URL or extra headers set too.
Proxying codiad.example.com to http://codiad:80
Add this to your Caddyfile
codiad.example.com {
reverse_proxy http://codiad:80
}Check the logs first
Nine times out of ten the logs tell you exactly what went wrong.
- In Portainer, go to Containers, click the container, then Logs. Or run
docker logs codiad - Exit codes help too:
137means killed, usually out of memory.126or127means the command inside the image is broken.
Published on a random port
This template exposes 80/tcp without setting a host port,
so Docker picks a random free one on every deploy.
- Find it in the Ports column of Portainer's container list, or with
docker port codiad
Permission denied on volumes
If the logs show "permission denied", the app can't write to its data folder on the host.
- Fix the ownership:
sudo chown -R 1000:100 /portainer/Files/AppData/Config/Codiad - Or set the
PUIDandPGIDvariables (defaults 1000:100) to match your own user, found withid $USER
Image won't pull
Test the pull directly on the host: docker pull linuxserver/codiad:latest
- "manifest unknown" means the tag no longer exists. This template uses
latest, so try pinning a specific version instead. - "toomanyrequests" is the Docker Hub rate limit. Log in with
docker loginto raise it. - "no space left on device" means a full disk. Reclaim space with
docker system prune
"exec format error"
This means the image was built for a different CPU architecture than your server.
- This image supports:
amd64, arm64, arm, arm64/v8 - Check yours with
uname -m: x86_64 is amd64, aarch64 is arm64. Raspberry Pi and other ARM boards are the usual culprits.
Container keeps restarting
The unless-stopped restart policy relaunches the app after every crash, so the real error can scroll past.
- Check the logs right after a restart, the last few lines before it died are the useful ones.
- Get the exit code with
docker inspect codiad --format '{{.State.ExitCode}}' - Still stuck? Redeploy once with the restart policy set to
noso the failure stays visible.

A single container
Codiad runs as one container, the simplest kind of app here. Just the one image to pull and nothing else wired up alongside it.
The app image
An image is the app packed up ready to go, everything Codiad needs bundled into one download. This template pulls linuxserver/codiad:latest, which Docker fetches once (about 27 MB) and then starts your own copy from.
Where the image comes from
Docker pulls its images from registries, public libraries of ready-built apps. Codiad's comes from Docker Hub, published by linuxserver.
Version tags
The bit after the colon in the image name is the version tag. Here it's latest, which always points at the newest build, so a redeploy can bump you to a newer release without you asking. Pin a specific tag if you would rather stay on one version.
Which machines it runs on
Every image is built for particular CPU types. This one ships for amd64, arm64, arm, arm64/v8, so it runs on both regular x86 servers and ARM boards like a Raspberry Pi.
Ports
A port is the door the app answers on. Here the app exposes a port but leaves the host side blank, so Docker picks a free one for you. It opens:
80, published on a random host port
Volumes
A volume is where Codiad keeps its files so they survive an update or a restart. Without one, anything it saves would sit inside the container and vanish the moment it's recreated. This template mounts:
/configfrom/portainer/Files/AppData/Config/Codiadon the host
Environment variables
Environment variables are the settings you hand over when you deploy, things like a password or a timezone. Codiad takes 2 of them, all with defaults you can leave alone or tweak:
PUID, defaults to1000PGID, defaults to100
Restart policy
The restart policy here is unless-stopped, so Docker restarts Codiad after a crash or reboot, but leaves it off when you stop it on purpose. You can change this on the deploy screen. The choices are no (never restart), on-failure (only after a crash), unless-stopped (restart unless you stop it), and always (bring it back no matter what).
Users and permissions
The PUID and PGID settings tell it which user and group to act as on your host. Point them at your own account (find yours with id $USER) so the files it writes into your mounted folders come out owned by you rather than root.
Networking
Nothing custom is set, so Codiad sits on Docker's default bridge network: its own private space that reaches the outside world only through the ports it publishes.
Container name
Once it's deployed, Portainer names the container codiad. That's what you'll spot in the containers list and use in commands like docker logs codiad.
Platform
The platform is linux, the kind of system the container is built to run on. Docker and Portainer handle this on a normal Linux server.
Portainer app templates
Zooming out, this whole page comes from a Portainer app template: a short recipe telling Portainer how to set Codiad up. Add the template list to Portainer once, then deploying Codiad is a click rather than a wall of config.
