Is there a way to have a number of coder_agents defined from a single resource block?
Yeah. The plan was for them to be in a virtual net anyway, I just wanted to have their stats visible in Coder, but it isn't a big deal.

Alternatively... Somewhere along the line, I had clean-ish code, and just had all the various coder_apps shoved under one agent. I don't actually need the different agent for each VM

Yeah. Unfortunate, but far from the end of the world. Just hate unnecessary duplicated code.

Yeah... I think I'm just going to succumb to manually defining each and every resource on its own. I am probably going to wind up with node0.tf, node1.tf, etc. So that I can just make changes to node0, blast it over the rest, then use sed to replace the instances of node0

As I sent that, if occurred to me that maybe it is quietly mad in the background because the coder_app's all have the same name and those need to be moved into the root module too. Will give that a shot when I get home.

I wound up getting it working ALMOST as intended here. https://github.com/bamhm182/Coder-Templates/tree/fe3f4e6161ca0c3ead1a7b26fad49bb85844315d/libvirt-k3s I put the coder_agents in the root module and created differently named "node" modules. The problem I am running into now, though, is that USUALLY only one coder_agent will be visible at a time. One time, I got them all to show up, but I think it was when they had no coder_app's

Of course I just needed to ask you in order to get it figured out... I deleted the counts and it worked... Then I added a second node and it failed due to duplicate resource names.... Womp womp

@Phorcys I think I didn't fully understand the problem when I had written off modules initially. I was thinking about it more today and it felt like modules may actually solve the problem, so I tried and am currently getting a different error I am having difficult deciphering. Can you take a look and see if I'm missing something obvious? https://github.com/bamhm182/Coder-Templates/blob/c8505f6a56bccb7c96980f789a714c981c316152/libvirt-k3s/libvirt.tf This is the error I am currently getting: 
Encountered an error running "coder templates push", see "coder templates push --help" for more information
error: template import provision for start: couldn't find node on graph: "module.node0"
Encountered an error running "coder templates push", see "coder templates push --help" for more information
error: template import provision for start: couldn't find node on graph: "module.node0"
I tried local modules as well as the module hosted on github as seen in this commit. Both returned the same message. I thought it may have been because I didn't know how to use modules, so I added in code-server to make sure and was able to get that one working both as expected to be used, and as a local module. I tried adding a coder_agent in the root module and passing through agent_id to the child module. No luck there either.

No problem! It sounds like it probably won't get addressed any time soon. May do some digging to see how huge of a lift it would be. It got moved over to the terraform-provider-coder repo, which is a lot less intimidating than the main Coder repo. As for Windows, I got a few different versions of Windows to boot with crappy hardcoded passwords and it met my goals, so I haven't bothered going back to make it better. That said, your recommendation to use an unattended.xml to bootstrap a sysprep'd image was spot on and if/when I get around to trying again, that's the route I will be taking. In the meantime, I have still been using Coder constantly for my NixOS images and couldn't be happier.

Yeah. I think I'm just going to hard code it at 3 nodes.

Ran into a flaw with that plan... Coder does type checking against tf.json files and is mad when count isn't a number

I hate that, but I could at least create a python script that would create all of the required files based on a max number of nodes...

Is there a way to have a number of coder_agents defined from a single resource block?
The only way I can see to do it is to create a bunch of resource blocks, and then have logic which excludes them if node_count is below a certain number... 
resource "coder_agent" "node-0" {
  count = var.node_count >= 1 ? coder_workspace.me.start_count : 0
}

resource "coder_agent" "node-1" {
  count = var.node_count >= 2 ? coder_workspace.me.start_count : 0
  ...
}
resource "coder_agent" "node-0" {
  count = var.node_count >= 1 ? coder_workspace.me.start_count : 0
}

resource "coder_agent" "node-1" {
  count = var.node_count >= 2 ? coder_workspace.me.start_count : 0
  ...
}

Yeah. I think you're right... I thought that's what I was seeing, but I misunderstood.

Is there a way to have a number of coder_agents defined from a single resource block?
Only because I only had a single coder_agent. If I try to do any sort of loop with coder_agent, it also yells. I think that the problem is that I need to have different names for each coder_agent, and I can't use for_each or count with them. I think modules are going to have the same issues, but as I was watching some videos on modules I had an idea that might be worth pursuing. It seems as though you can programmatically create *.tf.json files, so I'm thinking that maybe I can make a module that creates a "node-x.tf.json" file for each instance, and then have terraform use those... I have to dig more into it...

It's more so the coder_agent that I'm needing to have duplicates of, but they both fail in the same way.

@Phorcys , looks like that does have the same outcome. Will look into modules.

Thanks! Somehow I had thought that for_each would have the same outcome as trying to use count. Will give it a shot.
