Anybody who know about react canvas?

wrong server

discord.gg/programming

woo hoo just upgraded from 0.8.11 to 0.8.13

Let me ask... this is already probably something... and it's only me who didn't arrive there yet. Or at least this must be in the roadmap. I'm thinking about some kind of file in a project (eg, in a git repository at GitHub), which is a standard file (or folder) where a Coder template (or templates) is defined, configuring a workspace for that project's development environment. This way, from the Coder UI, instead of adding a template, and then creating a workspace from it, I could simply provide the GitHub project URL (or path, such as

jbruni/coder

), and Coder would grab the template(s) from the own project - and ask me if I want to launch a workspace. So... anyone who has a repo can publish a Coder template for its development... and anyone who has Coder installed can start developing in this project using its Coder template. I feel like this already exists, or very near in the roadmap, although I didn't stumble upon with anything in the docs or elsewhere yet.

Right?

that's actually a great idea

BTW, what was the metadata format that was choosen? I didn't keep close to the GH issues on it

hello, what is the difference between coder and coder-server

@honghong **code-serve**r is the IDE (basically, Visual Studio Code running in the server environment, and usable through the web browser UI... yeah... the visual part runs in the browser, but the file system is at the server, the terminal/SSH console is the server CLI...), while Coder is a web app managing workspaces (development environments) based on templates (development environment configurations)... these templates describe the dev environment system (OS, software, dependencies, etc), and they may contain code-server as one of its items... so, from Coder web UI, one can click a button and spin a full "dev server", with all required stuff for a project's development, and also a ready-to-use IDE in the browser.

3Q

i want to build some like the remix IDE: https://remix.ethereum.org/, do you think what product should i choose. code-server?

@honghong I don't know the answer to this question, because I don't know exactly what do you want. Sounds like code-server, indeed...

I have code-server running on my server. The directory on my server can now be opened. But can't open my local directory.

Is there any way to open the directory on my machine

no

you can use local VSCode with the "VSCode Remote - SSH" extension and connect to the server

VSCode Remote - SSH means open file on the server by ssh. but i mean open file on my computer by code-server

It's kind of possible. You can drag a file/folder into

code-server

running in the browser. But that essentially means the files will be uploaded to the workspace and you'll be working on a copy of the files. It will not synchronize to your local disk.

Ok , i just try that. i can drag a file into it. but when drag a directory. it show this error:

Ok, I only tried on macOS with Safari, maybe it behaves different in other browser/platforms.

If you right/click in the explorer, there's also the manual upload option (but doesn't seem to work with folders). Likewise there's a download option if you right-click a file.

As a workaround, you could create the folder manually and select multiple files?

OK

I'm trying to deploy code-server to a server that supports multiple people using it at the same time, each with their own separate workspace. is there any documentation on this

hello, i just try that but got this error: @cian

after this error, the server shutdown automatically

FYI it looks like https://coder.com/docs/coder-oss/latest/docker-compose.yaml is a broken link its referenced in https://coder.com/docs/coder-oss/latest/install/docker#run-coder-with-docker-compose

remind me how to log into coder in an air-gapped system?
