Host your own cloud based online IDE

You can host your own Cloud9 online editor on any node based platform. This way it works way cost effective than off-the-shelf service providers such as C9, Koding, Codeanywhere.com etc.

I just created a 1GB VM with digitalocean.com for $10/month.

git clone https://github.com/c9/core.git c9sdk cd c9sdk ./scripts/install-sdk.sh

You can run the install-sdk.sh script also to update the SDK to the latest version.

Running:

Start Cloud9 in the SDK as follows: ./server.js -p 8080 -l 0.0.0.0 -a : 
The following options can be used: 
--settings Settings file to use 
--help Show command line options. 
-t Start in test mode 
-k Kill tmux server in test mode 
-b Start the bridge server - to receive commands from the cli [default: false]
-w Workspace directory 
--port Port 
--debug Turn debugging on 
--listen IP address of the server 
--readonly Run in read only mode 
--packed Whether to use the packed version. 
--auth Basic Auth username:password 
--collab Whether to enable collab. 
--no-cache Don't use the cached version of CSS
