Secure Your Dev: Runpod Password-Protected Code Server

In this guide, I’ll walk you through setting up a password-protected code server using RunPod.

This step-by-step tutorial ensures your development environment is both secure and fully functional.

💻 Logging In and Initial Setup

  1. Log in to the RunPod site.
    If you're new to RunPod or unsure how to create an account, refer to the video link in the description for detailed instructions.
  2. Click the RunPod template link provided in the description.
    This will open the RunPod deployment screen.
  3. Check your credit balance.
    Ensure you have enough credits, or your session might be interrupted. If needed, follow the tutorial (linked in the description) to top up your credits. 💰

⚙️ Configuring Your Pod

  1. Confirm the "CPU" tab is active.
  2. Verify the pod name is set to “Code Server.”
    If you used the template link, this should be filled in automatically.
  3. Click "Edit Template" → "Public Environment Variables" → "Add Environment Variable."

🔑 Setting Up Password Security

  1. In the first text box, enter:
    Password
  2. In the value field, instead of typing your password directly:
    • Click the key icon to encrypt it.
    • In the popup, click “Create Secret.”
    • Set a secret name, password, and a description.
    • Click “Create Secret.”
  3. Select the newly created secret from the list.
  4. Click “Set/Override”, then “Deploy on Demand.”

🚀 Launching the Code Server

RunPod will now create a virtual PC environment, which typically takes a few minutes.

  1. When the status shows “Running,” click the downward arrow icon ▶️
  2. Click “Connect.”
  3. In the popup, wait for the HTTP service to show “Ready.”
  4. Click the HTTP service button.

A new tab will open with a password prompt. Enter the password you previously set and click “Submit.”
You're now inside your code server environment.

🛑 Managing Your Resources

RunPod credits are consumed as long as your code server is running.

  1. To stop the server, go back to the RunPod deployment screen.
  2. Close any popups, then click the “Terminal” button.
  3. A warning will appear stating that all files will be deleted.
    • Download any important files first! 💾
  4. If you're ready, click “Yes.”
    This stops the server and halts further credit usage.

✅ Conclusion

That’s it! You've now successfully set up a secure, password-protected code server on RunPod.


I hope you found this guide helpful in creating a more secure and efficient development environment. Happy coding! 👩‍💻👨‍💻
