Devcontainer starting is taking really long / multiple times building the Dockerfile?

For future reference, 4 minutes is not an unexpected amount of time for Envbuilder to build a non-trivial container from scratch. There are some ways to make this go faster, but the underlying build tool (kaniko) is fundamentally single-threaded and operates completely in userspace, meaning that it can't use nice things like overlayfs 😦

Devcontainer starting is taking really long / multiple times building the Dockerfile?

@Greenman999 I'm fairly sure it's just the logs being shown multiple times by the UI for some reason. I was able to reproduce it just now using our docker-compose setup in coder/coder with the same template, building the home-assistant image. 1) What version of Coder are you running? I can see the version of Envbuilder you're using from the log output. 2) Do you get the same behaviour if you hit https://$CODER_DEPLOYMENT/api/v2/workspaceagents/$WORKSPACE_AGENT_ID/logs directly? Note: You'll need to hit https://$CODER_DEPLOYMENT/api/v2/users/$YOUR_USERNAME/workspace/$WORKSPACE_NAME and look for agent_id to get the parameter for $WORKSPACE_AGENT_ID). That endpoint also returns the JSON-formatted logs which includes entry IDs and timestamps, so duplicates should be readily apparent there. If the container is really being built twice, you should see the string "Built image!" show up twice. 3) Do you get the same behaviour if you view the logs for the envbuilder container via the Docker CLI (docker logs container-name-goes-here)? 3) If you refresh the workspace page, do you get the same number of logs? I've seen multiples of the logs before refresh, and the correct number after refresh. Under the hood, when you expand the logs drawer, we send a GET to fetch all the currently persisted logs, and we then open a websocket to /logs?follow&after=$LAST_LOG_ID. It's possible we're just not updating $LAST_LOG_ID correctly in the UI.

Can't delete a workspace which uses devcontainers

this is probably an issue with the template tbh, terraform is trying to delete the image

Envbuilder in Coder: wrong user is used when cache is enabled

I'm guessing that remoteUser should probably override whatever else gets auto-detected?

Envbuilder in Coder: wrong user is used when cache is enabled

Hey @molitann can you also upload your Dockerfile? I'm able to repro this without the provider in the mix, it looks like it's related to when a user gets created as part of the devcontainer customizations
