Thanks for trying hard, Theo. I poked with few more options here, including tried building a Docker build from the Dockerfile posted in the "Tailscale in workspace" thread a few months ago - to no avail. Given my lack of experience with all of these systems involved, I don't think I can crack it 🙂
We'll just stick with our Coder on Ubunto option that seems to work fine.

Are you suggesting I could start the coder server from within the docker instance?

I'm starting coder directly in the powershell of the host machine (i.e., my Windows 11 Home laptop) with this command:
This is how I understood the instructions from https://coder.com/docs/tutorials/quickstart

Hey Theo, thanks for sticking with me. I really appreciate it. My son and I made some great progress installing the Coder on Ubuntu. So far, we created two user workspaces and were able to log in from different machines, incl. from a Chromebook. So far so good. Now we are looking into installing Java compiler - haven't figured that part out.
I'm probably going to give up attempting the Windows installation for now, though it would have been great if we figured it out.

@Phorcys , the other thing I was wondering if you'd have some guidance how to try is, to try manually running and tweaking the terraform script (main.tf) from within the docker instance. The error is happening while executing that script, IIUC the sequence of build actions.

Overall, I get the feeling that the vanilla quick-start process for Coder might be currently broken for Windows machines (again, I ran into that on two separate PCs, one of which I actually re-imaged overnight for a good measure). So I'd be surprised if there are no other Windows users running into that now (or perhaps there are not that many Windows users for Coder in the first place?). I betcha that if a more knowledgeable person tried to install this on Windows today, they would run into the same problem but they could quickly figure out which part of the config needs some tweaking.

(I'm on and off the whole day today, sorry)
I just retried building a workspace from the template, but I still get the same error

(I'm stepping away from my laptop for most of the morning. Thanks for your help so far. Hopefully we can pick up the troubleshooting later again...)

That's what I get when I try it from the Windows Power Shell:
Or did you mean I need to run it in another console?

Attached the two source files from the template + the failing build log. Thanks for taking a look, Theo!
