Custom button, like the code-server one?

I setup a resource block like I saw in some of the example Coder templates for a different service running in my workspace, Tilt:

resource "coder_app" "tilt" {
  agent_id      = coder_agent.main.id
  name          = "tilt"
  icon          = "https://yt3.ggpht.com/ytc/AMLnZu_KBLJd3vBogFZfah1GLQHiB3LQmjL9t4ZKyVpR=s68-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj"
  url           = "http://localhost:10350"
  subdomain     = false

  healthcheck {
    url       = "http://localhost:10350"
    interval  = 3
    threshold = 10
  }
}

resource "coder_app" "tilt" {
  agent_id      = coder_agent.main.id
  name          = "tilt"
  icon          = "https://yt3.ggpht.com/ytc/AMLnZu_KBLJd3vBogFZfah1GLQHiB3LQmjL9t4ZKyVpR=s68-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj"
  url           = "http://localhost:10350"
  subdomain     = false

  healthcheck {
    url       = "http://localhost:10350"
    interval  = 3
    threshold = 10
  }
}

The button shows up on my workspace dashboard in Coder, and seems to accurately reflect the status (yay!). But trying to navigate to it and all my assets are broken; I think because they are relative to the root /asset/path and not relative ./asset/path. I saw https://github.com/coder/coder/pull/4263 was recently pushed, but I don't understand how this helps with relative_path going away... or is that not related? I tried changing subdomain = true but that made no discernible difference. Confused.

I had planned to use subdomains to make my apps directly accessible... possibly with more than one ingress. Will this mess with that at all, AFAYK? Admittedly I hadn't gotten far enough in my Coder setup to get this working yet... As an example: - tenant-1.state.workspace-name.coder.tld.dev => resolves to k8s cluster - tenant-2.state.workspace-name.coder.tld.dev => resolves to k8s cluster - etc. - coder.tld.dev => resolves to Coder - *.coder.tld.dev => resolves to Coder (suggestion above, with CODER_WILDCARD_ACCESS_URL) Ok, happy to report I got things working. Here are some notes about things I was missing from before: - The docs @kyle mentioned are necessary, but they're only part of the picture. You also need to ensure you're running Coder 0.9.7+ (I was previously on Coder 0.9.3, which didn't support the work on subdomain from the linked issue above). 🤦‍♂️ - Still need to provide url in the resource block for coder_app, but it should be the localhost:PORT format (as if you were accessing it directly on the workspace host); Coder will automagically turn that into a subdomain link if subdomain = true but you (read: me) don't have to manually make that link yourself! 😌 - Also, my DNS was wrong, as I wasn't resolving my wildcard domain correctly. So yeah, make sure your DNS is sorted before head-banging too much on Coder or your provision scripts. 😶 - I rejiggered my domain names to put the coder.* and *.coder.* adjacent to (but not direct parents of) my other planned subdomain routes, so my earlier concern should be negated, if it was even valid to begin with. 🤷‍♂️ Continue to be amazed by how flexible, powerful, and (ultimately) easy Coder has been... I'm not ready to add "intuitive" to that list quite yet, but I am happy to discover my issues have simple solutions (so far, at least!) knocks on wood

I appreciate the thorough description of little nits you encountered. Hopefully we can add intuitive to the lit soon enough 🙂
