# Install Coder via Docker
You can install and run Coder using the official Docker images published on
[GitHub Container Registry](https://github.com/coder/coder/pkgs/container/coder).
## Requirements
Docker is required. See the
[official installation documentation](https://docs.docker.com/install/).

> macOS, please [run Coder via the standalone binary](./index.md#manual).
- A Linux machine. For macOS devices, start Coder using the
[standalone binary](./cli.md).

## Troubleshooting
### Docker-based workspace is stuck in "Connecting..."
Ensure you have an externally-reachable `CODER_ACCESS_URL` set. See
[troubleshooting templates](../templates/index.md#troubleshooting-templates) for
more steps.
[troubleshooting templates](../admin/templates/troubleshooting.md) for more
steps.
### Permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket
See Docker's official documentation to
[Manage Docker as a non-root user](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/linux-postinstall/#manage-docker-as-a-non-root-user)
### I cannot add Docker templates
Coder runs as a non-root user, we use `--group-add` to ensure Coder has
permissions to manage Docker via `docker.sock`. If the host systems
`/var/run/docker.sock` is not group writeable or does not belong to the `docker`
group, the above may not work as-is.
### I cannot add cloud-based templates
In order to use cloud-based templates (e.g. Kubernetes, AWS), you must have an
external URL that users and workspaces will use to connect to Coder. For
proof-of-concept deployments, you can use
[Coder's tunnel](../admin/setup/index.md#tunnel). For production deployments, we
recommend setting an [access URL](../admin/setup/index.md#access-url)
