Create a worskpace with several container

Hi, I'd like to know whether it's possible in coder to create a workspace that contains for example a container where all code resides and gets executed (as usual) and additionally other containers (for example a database container) that can be accessible from the former application container. Thanks !

Solution:

```tf data "coder_workspace" "me" {} resource "docker_network" "me" { name = "coder-${data.coder_workspace.me.owner}-${data.coder_workspace.me.name}" }...

You have two options. 1. You set up a template with multiple docker_container resources 2. Use Docker in Workspace: https://coder.com/docs/v2/latest/templates/docker-in-workspaces

Thanks a lot @Atif for your answer , I'm going to try the option 1 you suggest, will the containers have a dedicated network or is this something I have to specify on the template as well?

I have not tried it but you can probably create a network per workspace using docker_network resource and then attach your docker_container resources to that network using https://registry.terraform.io/providers/kreuzwerker/docker/latest/docs/resources/container#nestedblock--networks_advanced

Terraform Registry

data "coder_workspace" "me" {}
resource "docker_network" "me" {
  name = "coder-${data.coder_workspace.me.owner}-${data.coder_workspace.me.name}"
}
resource "docker_container" "dev" {
  ...
  networks_advanced {
    name = docker_network.me.name
  }
}
resource "docker_container" "database" {
  ...
  networks_advanced {
    name = docker_network.me.name
  }
}

data "coder_workspace" "me" {}
resource "docker_network" "me" {
  name = "coder-${data.coder_workspace.me.owner}-${data.coder_workspace.me.name}"
}
resource "docker_container" "dev" {
  ...
  networks_advanced {
    name = docker_network.me.name
  }
}
resource "docker_container" "database" {
  ...
  networks_advanced {
    name = docker_network.me.name
  }
}

Something like that could work.
