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

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

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

For mor information about stacks: koding.com/docs

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

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

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.
