Looking up exit status 0xc0000135 it appears that generally you see that when Windows is missing a library it needs. I think you have two options here: 1) Set CODER_PG_CONNECTION_URL to point to an existing PostgreSQL database, or 2) Install the PostgreSQL CLI tools so that you have the required libraries. You can do that by downloading the Windows PostgreSQL installer from https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads , launching the MSI, and only selecting "Command Line Tools" when prompted to select components.

In any case, filed https://github.com/coder/coder/issues/13010 to track this issue.

Scratch that, it might just be missing the VC++ runtime

It looks like it's failing to build the Docker image. Are you using a Docker daemon running on the same Windows host?

EB :)•5mo ago

I switched over to a vps ubuntu Error: Error pinging Docker server: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running? now i get this error wlp

Cian•5mo ago

Have you checked that the user under which coder runs has permissions to access the docker daemon socket? Is Docker installed and running?

EB :)•5mo ago

I installed docker.io and its running how do i add coder to the docker daemon

EB :)•5mo ago

both are running and coder has been added to the docker group @Cian

Cian•5mo ago

that appears correct.
