The Simplest Way to Manage Your Entire Dev Infrastructure!

Koding is a development platform that provides you to build up your environment from scratch. Developers get everything they need to spin up full-stack, project-specific environments in seconds. Share them, update them, and manage infrastructure from a simple interface.

You can try Koding now on koding.com

Quick Start with Docker

Koding can be run as a docker container, it requires docker-compose which you can install from here. For the rest you can follow these steps:

git clone https://github.com/koding/docker-compose.git koding-docker-compose
cd koding-docker-compose
docker-compose up -d

Run Koding on Koding.com

Yes, you can run koding on koding.com by using provided .koding.yml

Getting started for Development

If you wish to work on Koding itself, you need to install following software packages:

Software Requirements

• Golang v1.4
• Node.js v0.10
• Coffeescript
• Supervisord

Start developing

If you have the above software packages installed on your computer, you can follow steps for running the instance:

git clone https://github.com/koding/koding.git /your/koding/path
cd /your/koding/path
node -v # make sure your node version is not greater than `0.10.x`
coffee -v # make sure this doesn't return an error
npm install

You should have packages ready for running build specific scripts.

cd /your/koding/path
./configure # create necessary config files
./run install # start to install dependencies
./run buildservices # build the services
./run # run all services

As a result of this, you will have a file watcher watching your backend files (both node, and golang) and restart services when it's necessary. Now open up another terminal and run the following commands:

cd /your/koding/path
cd client # move into frontend client folder
npm install # install client dependencies
make # this will run a client watcher for you

Right now you should have 2 different watchers for (1) your backend files, (2) for your frontend client files.

Now you can navigate to to see your local Koding instance. Enjoy!

You can follow coffeescript-styleguide that we are relying on.
