This is an FAQ, tips and tricks, and best practices to get you going with Coder v2 OSS and v2 Enterprise (paid). If you're looking for an v2 enterprise trial key, fill out this form for a 30-day trial or you can sign up when creating your admin user after deploying Coder.
Here is an additional repo coder-hw with a Python-based CLI using the Coder API.
The official v2 docs and template examples are great resources too. Also my colleague bpmct authors some amazing templates too.
You can find API endpoints from inspecting the UI in your browser tools. Here are examples to get you going. This new repo coder-hw heavily uses the Coder API with a Python-based CLI app.
Here are several Emoji URLs to IDE, programming language, and infrastructure emojis to make your templates pop in the Coder UI.
Coder's docs are the first place to answers but I compile things that I find are important or recurring. Here is the FAQ.
The easiest and fastest way to run Coder is from the command line with the coder binary.
Download it here
curl -fsSL https://coder.com/install.sh | shTo specify a version and dry run before actually installing
curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh -s -- --dry-run --version 2.10.0Using fsS along with L, causes curl to fail silently on server errors, preventing showing the progress meter, and still show an error if it fails.
If you're on macOS and not a fan of brew like me, make sure you run this command instead:
curl -fsSL https://coder.com/install.sh | sh -s -- --method standaloneBTW, the coder binary is also the Coder CLI, which you use to create, push templates, even create, start, stop workspaces, API Key tokens, etc.
You can pass parameters/flags after coder server but I have a nice coder.yaml to easily tweak settings.
coder server --config coder.yamlThe example templates that ship with v2 are here and bpmct has some sweet templates too like podman and nifty AWS VM template that only persists the home volume.
Here are some short videos installing, configuring and using Coder v2. As new features arrive, I add new videos.
