Is there any recommendations for what memory to provide to coder? (just the coder server, not the workspaces, of course)

Thanks Ben, this is amazing. Just used it to setup my own VDI workspace 🙂

How the coder ssh-key can be used for commit signing?

Having a bit of trouble getting coder running via the helm chart. It installed beautifully, and the pod is running, but the liveness/readiness probes are failing.

in GH you can add a SSH key for signing under Settings > Access

I added that key. But how to tell git in coder workspae to use that key for signing commits? usually we do,

console
git config --global gpg.format ssh
git config --global user.signingKey ~/.ssh/key.pub

But there is no

.ssh

directory

coder has gitssh

in your workspace coder should set GIT_SSH_COMMAND to "coder gitssh"

do anyone know how to code

if so dm me

hey folks. I've got coder v2 running locally at a

https://HASH.pit-1.try.coder.app

endpoint and everything was working fine until my session expired. Now I have forgotten my password and neither the local login page nor the cli

coder login MYURL

interaction seem to have any way to create a new account or reset password.

Folks deploying coder to kubernetes behind an nginx-ingress controller, anyone having issues with websockets when trying to upload templates?

coder template create emacs-pod -d . -y -v

Run 'coder templates create --help' for usage.

Seems like nginx ingress supports websockets by default, but I've also tried the following annotations:

kubectl -n coder get ingress coder -o json | jq .metadata.annotations
{
  "meta.helm.sh/release-name": "coder",
  "meta.helm.sh/release-namespace": "coder",
  "nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-read-timeout": "3600",
  "nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-send-timeout": "3600",
  "nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/server-snippets": "location / {\nproxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;\nproxy_http_version 1.1;\nproxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $http_host;\nproxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;\nproxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;\nproxy_set_header Host $host;\nproxy_set_header Connection \"upgrade\";\nproxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;\n}\n"
}

It depends on what ingress controller you are using in k8s. There is NginX official and Kubernetes NginX ingress controller out there. And one of them allows WebSecket per default iirc.

For a "regular" nginx server (not a Kubernetes ingress controller), this is the snippet I have:

server {
        server_name $CODER_DNS_NAME_GOES_HERE;
        [...]
        location / {
            # Use HTTP/1.1 by default.
            proxy_http_version 1.1;
            # These are important to support WebSockets
            proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
            proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
            # Set proxy headers
            proxy_set_header Host $host;

            proxy_pass http://$HOST:$PORT;
        }
}

I'd double-check which version of the nginx ingress controller you have

I've now decided that I want to set up the production-coder-deployment with VMs (to lower the complexity and being independend of any k8s stability issues/update cycles). My desired setup looks like this

Is there any recommendation how to deploy coder on these machines? I am tempted to use docker containers with host networking. This way I don't buy any latencies from internal NAT and still have the ability to easily switch versions back and forth if necessary.

I have no idea but what tool did you use to make that diagram ?

excalidraw.

to be precise, it was the excalidraw plugin for obsidian but that should not matter much 😉

what is the primary OS used for coder development?

bidirectional clipboard is defo a treat ! I haven't seen any improvements to performance though (from noVNC), maybe that's just me though..

also I don't like how kasm looks, it looks like noVNC had iron deficiency

Yeah. I love this tool too. And this is almost always installed in every workspace to create fast and nice scribbles. It is also available as a plugin for code-server too. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=pomdtr.excalidraw-editor

Hi!

Im trying to install docker-code-server on Coder

but it quit on template import provision for start: recv import provision: plan terraform: terraform plan: exit status 1

Hi Sven! Did you add

coder

user to the

docker

group? You need that.
