Improves the Docker daemon troubleshooting in the quickstart and Docker
install docs:
- Renames the quickstart entry from "Cannot connect to the Docker daemon
on Linux" to cover all platforms.
- Adds a plain-English explanation of what the error means (Docker is
not installed or not running).
- Adds tabbed macOS/Linux/Windows instructions to the quickstart (macOS
and Windows were missing).
- Simplifies the Linux steps to match what Step 1 of the quickstart
already teaches.
- Adds a matching entry to `docs/install/docker.md` with a cross-link to
the quickstart for platform-specific steps.
Supersedes #24907 which was closed without merging.
Fixes https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DEVREL-23
> Generated with [Coder Agents](https://coder.com/agents)
Walking through the quickstart as a new user surfaced several small
friction points and formatting issues. This PR fixes the ones I hit:
- Split the combined Linux/macOS install tab — the steps are
meaningfully different (daemon vs Docker Desktop, package vs `.app`),
and collapsing them forced readers to mentally filter instructions.
- Added a "Launch the Docker daemon" step for Linux and "Open Docker
Desktop" for macOS/Windows. Without this, a new user who installs Docker
and proceeds to `coder server` hits the "Cannot connect to the Docker
daemon" error on first workspace build.
- Added "Familiarity with running commands in the terminal" to
Prerequisites to set expectations accurately.
- Fixed "Setup" → "Set Up" (verb form) in the Step 1 heading.
- Fixed "Congratulation" → "Congratulations".
- Corrected ```hcl` code fences to ```shell` on `git clone`, `cd`, and
`coder template push` commands — none of those are HCL.
- Added trailing punctuation to numbered-list items in the Tasks section
for consistency.
- Stripped Google Analytics session parameters (`_gl`, `_ga`, `_gcl_au`)
from two `registry.coder.com` URLs. These were copy-pasted from a
browser session and leak a GA session ID into public docs.
- Scoped the "Cannot connect to the Docker daemon" troubleshooting
heading to Linux, since it's specific to the Linux install path.
- Minor copyediting for tone and clarity in the intro and overview.

The `--login-type none` option for `coder users create` is deprecated.
This adds deprecation warnings to all docs that reference it and updates
the CI/CD tutorial to recommend the replacement flows.

Adds TIP alerts to the quickstart guide and the template contribution
guide linking to the
[coder-templates](https://github.com/coder/registry/blob/main/.agents/skills/coder-templates/SKILL.md)
agent skill from the Coder Registry. This gives contributors and new
users a pointer to AI-assisted template authoring when they first
encounter template creation.
Closes https://github.com/coder/coder/issues/21360
A few considerations/notes:
- I've kept the number of conns to 10 in all other places, except coderd
- which uses the config value
- I opted to also make idle conns configurable; the greater the delta
between max open and max idle, the more connection churn
- Postgres maintains a [_process_ per
connection](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/connect-estab.html),
contrary to what the comment said previously
- Operators should be able to tune this, since process churn can
negatively affect OS scheduling
- I've set the value to `"auto"` by default so it's not another knob one
_has to_ twiddle, and sets max idle = max conns / 3

This removes the deprecated AITaskPromptParameterName constant and all
backward compatibility code that was added for v2.28.
- Remove AITaskPromptParameterName constant from codersdk/aitasks.go
- Remove backward compatibility code in coderd/aitasks.go that populated
the "AI Prompt" parameter for templates that defined it
- Remove the backward compatibility test (OK AIPromptBackCompat)
- Update dbfake to no longer set the AI Prompt parameter
- Remove AITaskPromptParameterName from frontend TypeScript types
- Remove preset prompt read-only feature from TaskPrompt component
- Update docs to reflect that pre-2.28 definition is no longer supported
Task prompts are now exclusively stored in the tasks.prompt database
column, as introduced in the migration that added the tasks table.

fix a grammar issue.
Added an extra whitespace to the end / expanded the width of the table
to maintain space as adding the one char would have pushed `helps` hard
up against the table edge.

As part of an information architecture overhaul, this PR reorganizes the
About section and adds a Support section (but not content to it yet)
[preview](https://coder.com/docs/@docs-ia-about/about)
this PR is intentionally limited in scope so that we can ship meaningful
changes faster and followup PRs should include:
- [ ] edit + overhaul the About page
- [ ] decide on the `start` directory
- [ ] ~screenshots page updates~ (this should happen July or later)

Refactor the workspace SSH command syntax across the project to use the
"workspace.coder" format instead of "coder.workspace". This standardizes
the SSH host entries for better consistency and clarity.
This is a follow-up from #17445 and recommends using the suffix-based
format for all new Coder versions.

## Changes
1. Update the `0.0.0.0:3001` web UI address to `localhost:3000`. Coder
starts on port 3000 by default. It'd use 3001 only if 3000 was already
taken.
2. Update the screenshot of the `/setup` page to reflect how it will
look like after merging https://github.com/coder/coder/pull/16662. Note:
this PR should be merged only after the other one is.
3. Minor phrasing changes.

> We do not use Tailscale (product) but instead import Tailscale OSS
libraries which has some nice ways of handling Wireguard. We also use
Tailscale's logo in our architecture, but calling it only `Tailscale`
seems to throw people off when they're considering Coder and how it
works.
I've left it wherever it seems to make sense (such as when we talk about
[DERP](https://coder.com/docs/admin/networking#relayed-connections)),
and sprinkled some `Wireguard` and `websocket/HTTPS` where I could
