Michael Suchacz b794b1edd9 feat(mux): add package_manager and registry_url variables (#761)
## Summary

Add two new customization variables to the Mux module so users can
control how Mux is installed:

### `package_manager` (default: `"auto"`)

Choose which Node package manager installs Mux:

- **`auto`** (default) — auto-detects `npm` → `pnpm` → `bun` in order,
falling back to a direct tarball download when none is available
- **`npm`**, **`pnpm`**, **`bun`** — force a specific package manager
(fails if not found on PATH)

### `registry_url` (default: `"https://registry.npmjs.org"`)

Override the npm registry URL for private registries or mirrors. All
previously hardcoded `registry.npmjs.org` references have been replaced
with this variable. The `--registry` flag is passed to whichever package
manager is used, and the tarball fallback path also uses it.

## Changes

| File | What changed |
|---|---|
| `main.tf` | Added `package_manager` and `registry_url` variables with
validation; pass both to template |
| `run.sh` | Rewrote install logic: PM auto-detection loop,
`case`/`esac` dispatch with PM-specific flags, replaced all hardcoded
registry URLs with `${REGISTRY_URL}` |
| `mux.tftest.hcl` | Added 6 new test cases: PM selection
(npm/pnpm/bun), invalid PM validation, custom registry URL,
trailing-slash stripping |
| `main.test.ts` | Updated expected log messages to match new generic
wording |
| `README.md` | Updated description, added Custom Package Manager and
Custom Registry examples, updated Notes section |

## Version

Bumped **1.2.0 → 1.3.0** (minor: new backward-compatible features).

## Validation

-  `terraform validate` — clean
-  `terraform test` — **15 passed, 0 failed**
-  `terraform fmt` — clean

Health

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/templates directory.

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.

Coder Agent Bar

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.
