The platform for Digital Sovereignty
openCode brings open source to the German public sector. Together, we develop and share our software that shapes our digital future in a self-determined way.
+++ Planned IP Change +++
As part of a technical upgrade to our openCode infrastructure, the current public IP addresses for openCode will be replaced with new IP addresses on June 23. This change will improve the standardization and sustainability of the platform architecture.
For most users, this will not result in any changes. However, if you use firewall whitelists or explicit network permissions for openCode, the new IP addresses must also be added to your whitelist. For more information, please visit https://opencode.de/de/aktuelles
