what is best depends on how you use NFS: One flat export or one per user? Do you want to be able to split the source later? Do ypu want to control NFS options per Workspace or per Host? etc.

I would probably use Docker remote volume capabilities like you would with a cluster. Something like GlusterFS

modrin

or Ceph for that matter

Phorcys

i'd do what modrin said yeah

Is there a way to generate an api token which is valid for longer than 30 days? If I need to configure my CI with a static token I don't want to do this exercise every month

Copy code

coder --verbose tokens create --lifetime=17520h0m0s
Failed to validate create API key request.

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

might be helpful to mention this here https://coder.com/docs/v2/latest/api/authentication or here https://coder.com/docs/v2/latest/templates/change-management

I read that a lot of people have problems with allowing DERP traffic through their reverse proxies. How can I test that it works? I have a very default HA-proxy sitting there

JanL

03/02/2023, 9:27 PM

or is it even necessary - because each instance has its own relay it advertises?

JanL

what I do see is that speedtest and ping is quite flaky - they sometimes just hang, sometimes work

JanL

03/02/2023, 9:31 PM

coder ssh seems to work though

JanL

03/02/2023, 9:40 PM

hm, no, it hangs as well every other time

I m seeing this now with coder ssh ping

JanL

I'm seeing this now with coder ssh/ping/speedtest:

2023/03/03 15:19:36 tlsdial: warning: server cert for "XXX" is not a Let's Encrypt cert

As we have our internal CA letsencrypt makes no sense at all (and it's not accessible in an air-gap environment). Is there an option to turn this off globally?

Any idea why cloud init would fail to make the coder user but not log the error?

Phorcys

03/04/2023, 7:05 AM

in the startup_script?

Phorcys

03/04/2023, 7:05 AM

there are no logs for that atm

Phorcys

03/04/2023, 7:06 AM

well, not in the UI, they are in ``/tmp/coder-startup-script.log``

MrPeacock

03/04/2023, 9:52 AM

Or in Terraform plan / apply? What happens if you open start workspace? Can you see any terraform errors?

Phorcys

03/04/2023, 3:00 PM

his error is from the startup script though

Phorcys

03/04/2023, 3:00 PM

creating users can only be done from the script

Phorcys

03/04/2023, 3:00 PM

or maybe i misunderstood what he said

So it looks like the user actually got removed at some point. Basically we started the machine up and the created user/ home folder were just gone

Is there a possibility to change the font in the (in browser) terminal window? I'm using https://www.nerdfonts.com/ and it looks incomplete in the web terminal 😉

JanL

03/04/2023, 11:02 PM

ok, as a workaround:

Copy code

<fontconfig>
  <alias binding="strong">
    <family>Liberation Mono</family>
    <prefer>
      <family>LiterationMono Nerd Font</family>
    </prefer>
  </alias>
</fontconfig>

looks almost alright

hi, I have a coder server up and running and its working great. However, when I stop a workspace (based on the

docker

template), all the stuff I install in that container (say, for example,

php8.1

through apt) won't be installed when I start it again. This makes sense, since I didn't update the dockerfile to install those things, but the fundamental idea of workspaces no longer makes sense to me. Like, am I just meant to reinstall all my stuff each time or update the Dockerfile every time I want to add a package? What am I missing here?

Phorcys

03/05/2023, 6:21 AM

yes you are supposed to do that, best way would be to add the install part to your .personalize script in your home folder

Phorcys

you can also try exporting (on shutdown) and importing (on startup) the list of APT packages so that it's transparent https://askubuntu.com/questions/9135/how-to-backup-settings-and-list-of-installed-packages
