Is there any way to persist files when restarting a coder workspace?
I’m using coder_agent, and in the startup_script, I have logic that clones a Git repo and runs yarn install. The problem is that the yarn install step takes about 10 minutes, which significantly slows down workspace startup.
However, I only really need this to run the first time the workspace is created — not every time it’s restarted.
I tried adding a check like this:...
persist ubuntu updates and added packages
How can i keep the updates ive applied and packages I've added in the included terminal. after reboot all the changes i've made, except the files in the /home/coder directory are reverted
EKS/ECR envbuilder layer cache
I'm trying to setup devcontainer layer caching. I started out with the aws-devcontainer starter template, and I have a repo in ECR which I have filled in to the "cache_repo" variable. But when I start the workspace, I see the following:
...

code-server as a frontend for JupyterHub
Hi there! Does anyone have experience with hosting code-server directly as the primary frontend of a container running on a K8s JupyterHub?
I'm successfully capable of running it from an initialized container that runs JupyterLab, but I would like to completely swap out JupyterLab in favor of code-server.
That way. you could manage a multi-tenancy code-server environment that leverages JupyterHub's admin....
Template limits
Is there anyway to set limit for a user or a template for using ram, memory , etc?
Solution:
you can only set memory limits and limit containers to specific cpu cores with docker, if you need more precise limits you'll need to move to another runtime e.g kubernetes

Issue with Cloning a Specific Branch from a Private GitLab Repo Using SSH in Envbuilder
Hi everyone,
I'm encountering an issue when using Envbuilder with SSH for cloning private repositories. Here's what I've noticed:
When I work with a public repository and use HTTPS, everything works fine. I can clone the main branch and even specify another branch, as described in the documentation, like this:...
Solution:
I have opened an issue so our engineers can take a look at implenting it -> https://github.com/coder/envbuilder/issues/456
in the meantime I'd suggest you'd look into using External Auth instead of using HTTP deploy tokens...
Are there any implications if everything is ran in the same Kubernetes Namespace?
Is it possible to run all the Coder's components (coderd, provisionerd etc) in the same Kubernetes Cluster and namespace as user workspaces?
Are there any disadvantages to this approach? Or are there any impacts?...
Static URL for coder workspaces
Hey there,
We're looking to use coder to interact with some third party APIs. As part of that, we have to register the coder URLs on an allow-list. Is it possible to use static / consistent URLs for coder workspaces? Is it as simple as always naming the workspace the same name?
(We also need to support webhooks coming into the workspace, which would also be solved by consistent URL names)...

Coder Instance is Infinitely loading
I'm having trouble accessing my coder instance, I get an infinite loading spinner.
"The agent cannot authenticate until the workspace provision job has been completed"
Trying to create a template for use with XCP-ng/XOA, I am provisioning the VM with cloud-init.
At first start, it works perfectly but when shutting down and restarting the workspace through Coder (and not while directly shutting down the VM) the coder-agent can't authenticate.
