Coder offline issues

Hello, I'm evaluating coder in our air-gapped dev environment and run into the problem that despite following https://coder.com/docs/coder-oss/latest/install/offline coder tries to install terraform on startup from the internet (which fails of course):

coder_1  | ==> Logs will stream in below (press ctrl+c to gracefully exit):

How can I tell coder that terraform is already present? Another issue is that it complains that the update check fails (of course). Is it possible to deactivate this?

To answer my own question: The first issue goes away if you install the "correct" terraform version - I had used the newest release (1.3.6) but coder expected a special one (1.3.4). After installing this instead, it does not try to download it from the Internet. Maybe there is some better log output possible for this case? The second issue can be resolved with an envvar: CODER_UPDATE_CHECK: "false"
