Phorcys 069655ace9 chore: unify template naming (#15757)
This PR changes template names and docs to follow the
`<provider>-<os/whatever>` format for all templates.
I've decided not to split this into multiple PRs because I'd have to
edit rebase the other PRs once one of them gets merged, this should be
relatively low-impact anyways.

This aligns with our goals to make templates more user-friendly.

Remote Development on DigitalOcean Droplets

Provision DigitalOcean Droplets as Coder workspaces with this example template.

Prerequisites

To deploy workspaces as DigitalOcean Droplets, you'll need:

  • DigitalOcean personal access token (PAT)

  • DigitalOcean project ID (you can get your project information via the doctl CLI by running doctl projects list)

  • Remove the following sections from the main.tf file if you don't want to associate your workspaces with a project:

    • variable "step2_do_project_id"
    • resource "digitalocean_project_resources" "project"
  • Optional: DigitalOcean SSH key ID (obtain via the doctl CLI by running doctl compute ssh-key list)

  • Note that this is only required for Fedora images to work.

Authentication

This template assumes that coderd is run in an environment that is authenticated with Digital Ocean. Obtain a Digital Ocean Personal Access Token and set the environment variable DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN to the access token before starting coderd. For other ways to authenticate consult the Terraform docs.

Architecture

This template provisions the following resources:

  • Azure VM (ephemeral, deleted on stop)
  • Managed disk (persistent, mounted to /home/coder)

This means, when the workspace restarts, any tools or files outside of the home directory are not persisted. To pre-bake tools into the workspace (e.g. python3), modify the VM image, or use a startup script.

Note

This template is designed to be a starting point! Edit the Terraform to extend the template to support your use case.
