Simple template for code-server

Hello, I'm new in this field. so forgive me if I'm misunderstanding. I wanted to provide a web based IDE for multiple developers on a remote server. so that each user could log in to the server and open his own instance of the IDE. from what I read in the docs coder could provide this solution for me. I followed the documentation instructions and now I have a workspace running from the following template: https://github.com/coder/coder/discussions/3466 However when I open the workspace in the web UI. there is no button for the IDE. it seems that no agent is running. am I doing anything wrong? Also I tried the docker-code-server template too. in that case there was an agent named main but again no IDE or Terminal button.

yes! that's normal you have to use a provider for the machine the IDE will run on currently you're asking it to run code-server on thin air a provider is docker, amazon aws, etc basically a place where you can deploy machines/containers @Mixture do you have docker on your machine? it's the simplest way imo

Mixture•3y ago

yes I do. I also tried the docker-code-server template but couldn't acces any IDE

Phorcys•3y ago

let's use that template instead your current template is just invalid atm what happens when you use the docker-code-server template?

Mixture•3y ago

the workspace starts running and when I open the web UI and click on the workspace an agent named main is running but no Icon for IDE or Terminal is visible

@Phorcys In the logs I can also see a warning which I don't know if it's related or not:

 Warning: The access URL  http://127.0.0.1:7080  isn't externally reachable, this may cause unexpected problems when creating workspaces. Generate a unique *.try.coder.app URL

Mixture•3y ago

Phorcys•3y ago

Here is the /etc/coder.d/coder.env if it helps:
