Modules

Registry | Coder Docs | Why Coder | Coder Enterprise

Modules extend Templates to create reusable components for your development environment.

e.g.

module "code-server" {
    source = "https://registry.coder.com/modules/code-server"
    agent_id = coder_agent.main.id
}

• code-server: Install on start, create an app to access via the dashboard, install extensions, and pre-configure editor settings.
• personalize: Run a script on workspace start that allows developers to run custom commands to personalize their workspace.
• VS Code Desktop: Add a button to open any workspace in VS Code with a single click.

Registry

Check out the Coder Registry for instructions to integrate modules into your template.

Contributing a Module

To quickly start contributing with a new module, clone this repository and run:

./new.sh

Test a module by running an instance of Coder on your local machine:

$ coder server --in-memory

Create a template and edit it to include your development module:

Info The Docker starter template is recommended for quick-iteration!

module "testing" {
    source = "/home/user/coder/modules/my-new-module"
}

Build a workspace and your module will be consumed! 🥳

Open a pull-request with your module, a member of the Coder team will manually test it, and after-merge it will appear on the Registry.
