These commands allow any process acting within a coder workspace to inform the coder agent of its requirements and execution progress. The coder agent will then relay this information to other processes that have subscribed. These commands are: ``` # Check if this feature is enabled in your environment coder exp sync ping # express that your unit depends on another coder exp sync want <unit> <dependency_unit> # express that your unit intends to start a portion of the script that requires # other units to have completed first. This command blocks until all dependencies have been met coder exp sync start <unit> # express that your unit has completes its work, allowing dependent units to begin their execution coder exp sync complete <unit> ``` Example: In order to automatically run claude code in a new workspace, it must first have a git repository cloned. The scripts responsible for cloning the repository and for running claude code would coordinate in the following way: ```bash # Script A: Claude code # Inform the agent that the claude script wants the git script. # That is, the git script must have completed before the claude script can begin its execution coder exp sync want claude git # Inform the agent that we would now like to begin execution of claude. # This command will block until the git script (and any other defined dependencies) # have completed coder exp sync start claude # Now we run claude code and any other commands we need claude ... # Once our script has completed, we inform the agent, so that any scripts that depend on this one # may begin their execution coder exp sync complete claude ``` ```bash # Script B: Git # Because the git script does not have any dependencies, we can simply inform the agent that we # intend to start coder exp sync start git git clone ssh://git@github.com/coder/coder # Once the repository have been cloned, we inform the agent that this script is complete, so that # scripts that depend on it may begin their execution. coder exp sync complete git ``` Notes: * Unit names (ie. `claude` and `git`) given as input to the sync commands are arbitrary strings. You do not have to conform to specific identifiers. We recommend naming your scripts descriptively, but succinctly. * Scripts unit names should be well documented. Other scripts will need to know the names you've chosen in order to depend on yours. Therefore, you --------- Co-authored-by: Mathias Fredriksson <mafredri@gmail.com>
Coder enables organizations to set up development environments in their public or private cloud infrastructure. Cloud development environments are defined with Terraform, connected through a secure high-speed Wireguard® tunnel, and automatically shut down when not used to save on costs. Coder gives engineering teams the flexibility to use the cloud for workloads most beneficial to them.
- Define cloud development environments in Terraform
- EC2 VMs, Kubernetes Pods, Docker Containers, etc.
- Automatically shutdown idle resources to save on costs
- Onboard developers in seconds instead of days
Quickstart
The most convenient way to try Coder is to install it on your local machine and experiment with provisioning cloud development environments using Docker (works on Linux, macOS, and Windows).
# First, install Coder
curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh
# Start the Coder server (caches data in ~/.cache/coder)
coder server
# Navigate to http://localhost:3000 to create your initial user,
# create a Docker template and provision a workspace
Install
The easiest way to install Coder is to use our
install script for Linux
and macOS. For Windows, use the latest ..._installer.exe file from GitHub
Releases.
curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh
You can run the install script with --dry-run to see the commands that will be used to install without executing them. Run the install script with --help for additional flags.
See install for additional methods.
Once installed, you can start a production deployment with a single command:
# Automatically sets up an external access URL on *.try.coder.app
coder server
# Requires a PostgreSQL instance (version 13 or higher) and external access URL
coder server --postgres-url <url> --access-url <url>
Use coder --help to get a list of flags and environment variables. Use our install guides for a complete walkthrough.
