Supporting Code-Server Port Forwards from Coder

Is this something that currently works and I just haven't set it up right? I am connecting through a coder instance running on my VPS, so localhost is not correct. https://files.mcaq.me/30578.jpg

If this feature is not currently working, then is there another method to expose services running on the workspace?

Hmm, this should only work if you have a wildcard domain setup for forwarding ports.

Okay cool, I can get that setup. Will it be automatic when I have that option set? Right now I own mcaq.me, and run coder on vs.compute.mcaq.me If I add a CNAME so that I have *.vs.compute.mcaq.me point to coder, then set the wildcard domain up in the helm chart, it should work? I'm also planning on making a ticket / PR to add more info to the helm docs - If that's useful to you guys

It should work! That would be helpful to us. Users can give a less biased perspective on our docs than we have, so the contributions are welcome!

Cool! I'm trying to push your software at work, and also trying to move my hobbyist stuff onto it. We'll see how that goes - but for now it's going really well, few kinks to work out, as well as k3s being painful with sysbox, but that's expected at this level Hey @kyle , sorry I forgot I made this thread. Basically, adding wildcardhost didn't help, its still saying localhost

You'll have to add an environment variable to set the wildcard host too! See: https://github.com/coder/coder/issues/5563 We'll be fixing this soonish!

CODER_WILDCARD_ACCESS_URL is not set when `coder.ingress.wildcard...

If you set coder.ingress.wildcardHost=... in the Helm chart, I would expect that the Coder pod will have the corresponding configuration for CODER_WILDCARD_ACCESS_URL, but it doesn't get that.

Ah okay sweet. Thanks :))

@kyle this doesn't seem to be working https://files.mcaq.me/2r4ck.jpg

And I run

helm repo update
helm upgrade coder coder-v2/coder \
  --namespace coder \
  -f values.yaml

helm repo update
helm upgrade coder coder-v2/coder \
  --namespace coder \
  -f values.yaml

Got it - I needed to remove the https:// - maybe worth removing the URL part of that env var to make it clearer its a domain not a URL?
