Coder

It'll likely be out with the next Coder release.

Okay that’s super awesome and cool! Just one question are Terminals also kept open when you close vscode and open it again, like with code-server?

Yup, exactly! It works just like VS Code Remote SSH

With the benefit being that you can see connection info, and start/stop workspaces.

I'll DM you a VSIX once we do a release with the CLI updates!

Waht do you mean? If we close vscode does it keep our terminals and anything we are running?

If you are using code-server and you close the browser window and reopen it the terminals will still be there. This is one of the best features for me

Ahan. I use Microsoft code-server. Will test this

This would be very useful. I use tmux for now.

Is there any published comparison between Microsoft code-server and coder code-server?

I think the extention repo is different (I may be wrong but I have seen somewhere that some extension aren't here because it's not a official version from Microsoft)

yeah, code-server uses https://open-vsx.org/

We just published a blog post that explores the different ways people use code-server with multiple users. https://coder.com/blog/code-server-multiple-users

is there a way to embed a browser (ideally chrome) that runs on the coder pod, not local to the user?

you can use it over VNC may be. Install it inside your image and then expose the VNC server and connect to it. If you prefer noVNC the you need a browser to connect to a browser.

<@1040642759633162276> my template is a good example of vnc -> https://github.com/uwu/basic-env

it has a lot of stuff you won't need though so just grab the VNC parts and run away with them

is there a way to add data to the `coder_workspace` data field? i'm hoping to auto setup git credentials without them being stored in the template

You can use our Git providers feature: https://coder.com/docs/coder-oss/latest/admin/git-providers#how-it-works

Okay that's cool! I need it to work with Gitea but that should be manageable if you already have this integration with other providers

Is there a way that I could add these env parameters at runtime so that different people could use the same template but have their personal credentials?

It looks like this is something that would be hard coded into a template

So I found `coder_parameter` which is basically what I'm looking for but what I really need is the ability to configure the parameters programatically at runtime because we are launching workspaces via api

This isn't out yet unfortunately! It's in our provider, but doesn't do anything in Coder yet.

Hey, is there a way to run a docker workspace without the coder user to have sudo rights? We'd like our devs not to have full access to the workspace if possible.

i recommend you make a thread in <#1006346052317753414> so we can discuss this

Just wondering, was part of this blog post written with ChatGPT?
