The existing README for the Azure Linux template only mentioned that the VM is ephemeral and the managed disk is persistent, but did not explain that the resource group, virtual network, subnet, and network interface also persist when a workspace is stopped. This led to confusion where users expected all Azure resources to be cleaned up on stop, when in reality only the VM is destroyed. ## Changes - Added the persistent networking/infrastructure resources to the resource list - Added "What happens on stop" section explaining which resources persist and why - Added "What happens on delete" section confirming all resources are cleaned up - Moved the existing note about ephemeral tools/files into a "Workspace restarts" subsection for clarity Created on behalf of @DevelopmentCats Co-authored-by: blink-so[bot] <211532188+blink-so[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: DevCats <christofer@coder.com>
Coder Registry
Registry Site • Coder OSS • Coder Docs • Official Discord
Coder Registry is a community-driven platform for extending your Coder workspaces. Publish reusable Terraform as Coder Modules for users all over the world.
Note
The Coder Registry repo will be updated to support Coder Templates in the coming weeks. You can currently find all official templates in the official coder/coder repo, under the
examples/templatesdirectory.
Overview
Coder is built on HashiCorp's open-source Terraform language to provide developers an easy, declarative way to define the infrastructure for their remote development environments. Coder-flavored versions of Terraform allow you to mix in reusable Terraform snippets to add integrations with other popular development tools, such as JetBrains, Cursor, or Visual Studio Code.
Simply add the correct import snippet, along with any data dependencies, and your workspace can start using the new functionality immediately.
More information about Coder Modules can be found here, while more information about Coder Templates can be found here.
Getting started
The easiest way to discover new modules and templates is by visiting the official Coder Registry website. The website is a full mirror of the Coder Registry repo, and it is where .tar versions of the various resources can be downloaded from, for use within your Coder deployment.
Note that while Coder has a baseline set of requirements for allowing an external PR to be published, Coder cannot vouch for the validity or functionality of a resource until that resource has been flagged with the verified status. All modules under the Coder namespace are automatically verified.
Getting started with modules
To get started with a module, navigate to that module's page in either the registry site, or the main repo:
In both cases, the main README contains a Terraform snippet for integrating the module into your workspace. The snippet for Cursor looks like this:
module "cursor" {
count = data.coder_workspace.me.start_count
source = "registry.coder.com/coder/cursor/coder"
version = "1.0.19"
agent_id = coder_agent.main.id
}
Simply include that snippet inside your Coder template, defining any data dependencies referenced, and the next time you create a new workspace, the functionality will be ready for you to use.
