thanks, can you please elaborate on what the .personalize script is? also what about stuff from other package managers? like pip, snap, etc

depends on if you're using one of the official templates or not basically it's just a script in ``/home/coder`` that gets sourced by the ``startup_script`` pip, maybe use some env manager that will store those packages and their state in ``/home/coder`` snap, why are you using snap..?

ok thanks. Yeah actually i probably wont be needing snap

Or you may mount volumes to /home/coder and /etc

It will preserve pip packages as they are installed in users home and /etc will preserve apt installed packages

i would not recommend volumes for /etc though

it will take so much space and might not save all needed directories

Where did you put this snippet?

Where are a few options: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/fontconfig/fontconfig-user.html I've put it somewhere in `~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/

On the workspace?

No. The device with the browser on it

hi

Howdy all, before I get into specifics, is there a clever way to avoid the "not enough free space" issue when installing large packages to a workspace?

someone can help me make it i will pay ( Just showing the same does not matter if it works or not )

doesn't look so legal to me

anyways, this is not a programming server, you'll have to go ask somewhere else

where are you seeing this ?

I think your host machine doesn't have enough free space lol

I will buy that for a dollar, as I have not had that issue before, however.. the host machine should have plenty of space. I was trying to build a workspace from a custom docker image. For specificity's sake, it's for pen testing and is based off the kali-rolling image. For interactivity reasons, you cannot preinstall the metapackages. So, I created the image, and the workspace, and tried to install the metapackage on the workspace.

@daVinci2793 can we continue this in #1006346052317753414 instead so we don't flood?

lemme try to repro and get some better info.

i have some questions so it's fine if you just copy/paste your messages

thread made

will this work in the home directory of the user as well? I'm using the default docker template

?

the default docker template should check for ``/home/coder/.personalize`` and run it if it exists

ah ok thanks

i was wondering cos my user is not called

coder

but ill just make a new directory i guess

never mind it just deletes the file and directory upon restart and doesnt run it
