Improve default setup

[kylecarbs]

Most people don't run code-server in a Dockerfile. Provide better examples for setting-up on bare metal.

@kylecarbs What are you thinking of providing in the docs here? Most of the Dockerfile stuff is stuff that's normally already done on bare metal machines as standard linux stuff. Only reason we have to do it is because docker images are normally stripped down.

[kylecarbs]

I mean for deploying and using code-server daily. I use code-server on GCP and the setup (while similar) is quite different from the Docker cmd we provide by default.

[nhooyr]

Like you mean running it as a systemd service?

[kylecarbs]

Or even running it in a screen, yea

[IPvSean]

there used to be docs on running this as a systemd service... did someone remove them?

[nhooyr]

Maybe it's best if we have a single guide on running code-server on a VM in GCP with systemd. Would be much easier to maintain and is the ideal personal workflow given you can easily access docker. Before we tried to have guides for every platform under the sun.

@kylecarbs @nhooyr Thoughts? https://github.com/cdr/code-server/blob/default-setup/doc/GettingStarted.md

Figured that we could use a bare setup guide-- one that doesn't include SSL or http proxy.

Nice, like the screenshots.

Lets use digital ocean instead as the default since we can provide a button and use the DO image which runs code-server on systemd.

The image is built from this packer directory: https://github.com/codercom/do-marketplace-partners/tree/master/packer

[nhooyr]

I provided the link there just so we can include it in the docs so users know what the image contains.

[nhooyr]

Done, see https://github.com/cdr/code-server/blob/master/doc/guide.md
