This article will walk you through the process of creating a new environment.
To begin, log in to Coder. You will automatically be redirected to the Environments page.
If this is your first time using coder, you'll see a Create Environment button in the middle of your screen; otherwise, you'll see a list of your existing environments.
Click either Create Environment (if available) or New Environment in the top-right to launch the creation window.
When prompted, provide the following information for the environment you want to be created:
| Environment Name | A friendly name for your environment |
| Image | The Docker image you want to use as the base for your environment |
| Tag | The version of the Image you want to use |
By default, a new environment will be allocated resources (CPU Cores, Memory and Disk) based on its parent image. These values may be changed by configuring the Advanced section:
| CPU Cores | The number of CPU cores you'd like for your environment |
| Memory | The amount of memory you'd like for your environment |
| Disk | The amount of storage space you'd like for your environment |
When done, click Create to proceed. Coder will redirect you to an overview page for your environment while it builds.
Image Resource Allocation Defaults
Coder displays a warning if you choose resource settings lower than the image-recommended default, but you can still create the environment.
.gitconfig files
Please note that if the image you're using to create your environment does not include a .gitconfig file, Coder will automatically generate one for you using the details found in your Coder Enterprise account.
You can modify the .gitconfig file, but we recommend using a personalize file or a dotfiles repo instead to customize your environment.
