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:
But the condition always returns false (the repo isn't present). Is there a recommended way to run expensive setup steps only on initial workspace creation, and skip them on restarts?
Thanks in advance!
