I also encountered the same problem, which forced me to give up uploading templates.
How big are the templates you’re trying to upload? If you’ve run
terraform init within them before uploading they can get pretty big
I’ve seen the upload process hang when they’re sufficiently big, but the max size we support is 3 (maybe 4?) MbDid using
coder templates push from CLI worked for you?I deployed Coder inside a Docker container, is there a place to access the Coder CLI?
You can install the CLI to any machine using the install script.
its zip file from gitlab, around 200KB
Hmm, okay, definitely not a size issue
but ill try the cli way later as well and keep u posted

Potentially related, it's really easy to nest your terraform config accidentally
I zip the content, not the folder and still get stuck in this...
The frontend isn't showing errors when it should for a few cases it would appear
You should see an error uploading via the CLI, or you can view the provisioner logs in the browser dev console network tab
Either way, it'd be good to see what's going wrong
I can reproduce the issue, i'll connect w/ Ethan and open up an issue
some more insights:
- pushing .zip doesnt work at all using
coder template push
- after extracting the zip file, there needs to be a .tf file in the root of the template - empty main.tf works fine. afterwards, i was able to push the template.
what do you mean nest?after extracting the zip file, there needs to be a .tf file in the root of the templateBy nested I mean, not having a main.tf in the root of the template I pushed up a fix for the frontend hanging when that's the case yesterday :) https://github.com/coder/coder/pull/15341 next release you'll get a message saying Terraform couldn't find the config, which is the same behaviour as the CLI
pushing .zip doesnt work at all using coder template push
I believe this is just a CLI limitation unfortunatelyso you think with the fix we should be able to upload zip?
Any templates that couldn't be uploaded before, still can't be uploaded
The only fix I made was making sure it told you what the issue was on the frontend
you can't use
coder template push to push a zip, you have to push a folder with it
