Coder

Does anyone know where the web-editor is for versions?

Hey Sven 👋 Like for template versions?

It's experimental right now! You can actually append `/edit` to the end of a template version URL to manually navigate to it, but it's not official yet so beware of bugs.

hi I have created a template using "coder templates create" and I want to be able to update it from local.

you can pull template via coder CLi. Use `coder template pull name` to download your template

Hi, I have a question. How can i specify the vscode extentions inside the template so they also get installed for the VSCode Desktop client?

You can install them via `code-server --install-extension <extension-id>`.

For example, we store all our extensions in `.vscode/extensions.json`, read this file during the provisioning and install them accordingly:

```
cat /path/to/your/repository/.vscode/extensions.json | jq -r '.recommendations[]' | xargs -n1 code-server --force --install-extension
```

Hope that helps 🙂

Ah sorry, you're using the Desktop Client. Hmm ...

so i would put "code-server --install-extension xxx" into the startup script for coder_agent ? Sry I'm new to the whole coder process

Ya, just misread your initial message. So, when you would use the `code-server` (VS Code in the Browser), my approach would help. For the desktop version, not sure. Could be that you can install the extensions in that way too.

Has someone managed to use HTTP (port 80) without it being redirected to HTTPS? I have defined my `.tf` file with http and port 80, but on coder the link (from the button) shows up as https://, also changing it manually still redirects to https (this time traefik proxy shouldn't be redirecting it because I've removed all redirect middleware )

Hi, did the ability to mark rich params as optional by setting default to empty make it 0.19.2 release?

Can I use a desktop container workspace with vnc on port 443 or would I have to open other ports?

Yep, you can expose ports from within your workspace via `coder_app` in your template: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/coder/coder/latest/docs/resources/app

Can I use a desktop container workspace

If I want to run Coder (the UI) in Docker on one server, but I'm not planning to allow users to create workspace on that server, only on remote envs, do Coder still need permissions to manage the local docker ?

Still trying to wrap my head around the best way to setup Coder for our team.  Does anyone use Gitpod workspace images through Coder for example?

What is your current workflow and what are you trying to improve?

Does each team have their own workspace images?

Current workflow, they had one each VM and they use Lando (a wrapper around docker compose that also handle routing) to launch projects.   Over time their vm config would drift and they would still run into the dreaded « not working on my VM »

We started moving to gitpod and that flow work fairly well for them so far , but would prefer to self host to give them more performance

Nice, makes sense. Is there a single image you're looking to use with your organization, or do you want to let different teams use different images?

You can self host Coder on Docker and build-images directly on the host: https://github.com/coder/coder/tree/main/examples/templates/docker-image-builds.

We're working on adding support for the devcontainer format so that you can import a repo and create workspaces that way as well. That will work on Docker and Kubernetes

great, yeah  in gitpod we do setup default extensions for VScode for example and specify different "start script" depending on the project, so devcontainer would definitely be great

Oh nice. We'll be adding support for that soon

Still trying to wrap my head around the

I am having trouble getting the port forwarded web address to use ssl, since the domain name has HSTS enabled

I am using Caddy as SSL and reverse proxy provider

but obviously that does not matter due to tailscale directly portfowrading to web, bypassing caddy.

<@300825834724261898> you should create a <#1006346052317753414> post about this and post details about your setup (coder and caddy config file)

Is it any way to change the url from the default try.coder.app to my own sub domain without losing existing workspaces?
