Issue with helm

Hi Team Coder,

I'm getting issue in my coder console while creating the workspace with kubernetes and docker.
I had used helm deployment for installation.

Regards,
Team Qolaba

you need to mount the docker socket in coder's container

Phorcys•3/29/23, 10:21 AM

you also need to add the coder user to the docker group within the container

SarthakOP•3/29/23, 10:27 AM

I have added this mount part in values.yaml file still it is giving same issue.

The coder Pod is using Alpine Linux v3.17

Phorcys•3/29/23, 7:42 PM

please don't ping

Phorcys•3/29/23, 7:42 PM

you also need to add the docker group to the user

Phorcys•3/29/23, 7:43 PM

i don't know how to do that in k8s

bpmct•3/29/23, 10:01 PM

Hey. If you're deploying Coder on Kubernetes, the best bet is to use the Kubernetes template that creates pods on that cluster.

bpmct•3/29/23, 10:02 PM

You could alternatively run the a Docker socket on some VM and the Coder server can connect to it over SSH, but I wouldn't really recommend that.

SarthakOP•3/30/23, 6:26 AM

Do I need to run a docker socket on that instance where we have the Pod?

Scott•3/30/23, 8:37 AM

@Sarthak - Can you explain the overall goal you are trying to achieve? What I'm particularly interested in is why you would want to have docker inside k8s?

Scott•3/30/23, 8:38 AM

I know about Docker in Docker, but that is also regarded as something to avoid.

SarthakOP•3/30/23, 10:51 AM

Hi @Scott ,

I am trying to get VS code console in browser with the deployment of helm in GKE cluster.

Scott•3/30/23, 11:46 AM

Yeah, so then Ben's suggestion is correct. You'd need to use the k8s template example.

Scott•3/30/23, 11:46 AM

@Sarthak

SarthakOP•3/30/23, 11:47 AM

Let me try

bpmct•3/31/23, 2:39 AM

@Sarthak Did the Kubernetes template end up working for you?

SarthakOP•3/31/23, 5:49 AM

@bpmct Can you please share the changes in the code that I should do?

Scott•3/31/23, 8:50 AM

@Sarthak - To just get a pod running with the Coder agent, you shouldn't need to change anything. Try this:

1. Login to your deployment of Coder via CLI
https://coder.com/docs/v2/latest/templates#login-to-your-coder-deployment
2. Do a coder template create <your-template-name>coder template create <your-template-name> where <your-template-name><your-template-name> would be the example k8s template I linked to above.
https://coder.com/docs/v2/latest/templates#add-a-template
3. Go to your Coder deployment website and you should see the template.
4. Create a workspace from the template.

I haven't tested the above steps and it's been a while since I added a template to my deployment, but it should get you closer.

How can I login into coder CLI, as I have never created a token?

Scott•3/31/23, 12:05 PM

@Sarthak - When you start the login command (also using the URL to your Coder instance), the CLI will open the browser and you login. Once you log in, you'll be shown the token to add.

SarthakOP•3/31/23, 5:24 PM

I'm not getting any option to create the token

Scott•3/31/23, 6:49 PM

Did you try to login in via the CLI? @Sarthak

SarthakOP•3/31/23, 6:50 PM

I am trying to do login through CLI only, that's where I need token

Scott•4/1/23, 3:01 AM

@Sarthak - When you log in via your CLI, does it open your web browser?

Phorcys•4/1/23, 3:52 AM

@Sarthak you do not need to manually create the token, simply use coder login https://your.domaincoder login https://your.domain, it will then open up your browser with a token to copy and paste in the terminal

SarthakOP•4/1/23, 7:21 AM

No, it does not open web browser @Scott

I tried same command only @Phorcys

SSarthak No, it does not open web browser <@267661647785623572> I tried same command on...

Phorcys•4/1/23, 7:22 AM

what machine are you running this command on ? your personal computer or your coder server ?

SarthakOP•4/1/23, 7:23 AM

On the GCP CMD where I authorised the K8S cluster as well.

Phorcys•4/1/23, 7:24 AM

yeah so, you'd want to either open the URL ending with /cli-auth/cli-auth from that command line, or (recommended) install the

coder

coder

CLI on your local machine (workstation)

SarthakOP•4/3/23, 8:03 AM

Hi @Phorcys

I was able to login successfully.

SarthakOP•4/3/23, 10:32 AM

Now, I am trying to launch coder pod from the template by the help of terraform.
It is unable to start the pod. It's getting crash.

SarthakOP•4/3/23, 11:48 AM

SarthakOP•4/3/23, 11:49 AM

@Phorcys @Scott

Scott•4/3/23, 1:02 PM

@Sarthak - What logs are you getting in the pod, when it tries to start? Can you see any?

SarthakOP•4/3/23, 1:03 PM

I am unable to get the logs

Scott•4/3/23, 1:04 PM

Did you use the k8s template verbatim? No changes?

SarthakOP•4/3/23, 1:05 PM

If I do coder template init, then there were several templates mentioned, so I selected Develop in Kubernetes.

Scott•4/3/23, 1:08 PM

Ok. And did you follow all of the instructions in the readme file?

SarthakOP•4/3/23, 1:49 PM

Yes, I followed till template creation.
Also, I didn't change any TF code. I just gave TF init, plan and apply.

Phorcys•4/3/23, 3:25 PM

hey -- please don't ping people, we regularly check these channels for new messages and answer whenever we can

Phorcys•4/3/23, 3:26 PM

where do you see the error?

Scott•4/3/23, 3:43 PM

@Sarthak

Yes, I followed till template creation.

There is nothing in the readme about template creation, which tells me, you didn't follow the readme. For instance, did you create the service account? Add RBAC role? Did you create the k8s namespace? etc.

SarthakOP•4/3/23, 3:59 PM

https://coder.com/docs/v2/latest/templates#add-a-template

I follow from this URL that you provided earlier.
Also, the service account is created in GCP for GKE, and these pods are in particular namespace that I specified.

Phorcys•4/3/23, 3:59 PM

this isn't the readme of the template !

Phorcys•4/3/23, 3:59 PM

you will see the readme of the template if you click on the template name under the "templates" tab

Scott•4/3/23, 4:00 PM

@Sarthak - when you did the coder template initcoder template init it generates the template and a readme file. That's the file you need to follow.
