vscode-coder template

This template is for developing the coder/vscode-coder VS Code extension.

Personalization

The template includes a personalize module that runs your ~/personalize file if it exists.

Testing

The workspace comes with Playwright Chromium, GTK libraries, xauth, and a D-Bus daemon pre-configured for running tests headlessly, the same way CI does.

Integration tests launch a real VS Code instance and require a virtual framebuffer. Run them with xvfb-run -a pnpm test:integration to match CI behavior.

See the repo's AGENTS.md for the full list of commands.

Hosting

Coder dogfoods on a single Teraswitch bare metal machine for best-in-class cost-to-performance. Workspaces run as Docker containers with regional Tailscale endpoints for Pittsburgh, Falkenstein, Sydney, and Cape Town.

Provisioner Configuration

The dogfood coderd box runs an SSH tunnel to the Docker host's socket, mounted at /var/run/dogfood-docker.sock. The tunnel runs in a screen session named forward and is owned by root.
