Docker - Coder OSS main docs

Coder with Docker has the following advantages:

Simple installation (everything is on a single box)
Workspace images are easily configured
Workspaces share resources for burst operations

Requirements

A single macOS or Linux box
A running Docker daemon

Instructions

Run Coder with Docker.

export CODER_DATA=$HOME/.config/coderv2-docker
export DOCKER_GROUP=$(getent group docker | cut -d: -f3)
mkdir -p $CODER_DATA
docker run --rm -it \
    -v $CODER_DATA:/home/coder/.config \
    -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
    --group-add $DOCKER_GROUP \
    ghcr.io/coder/coder:latest

This will use Coder's tunnel and built-in database. See our Docker documentation for other configuration options such as running on localhost, using docker-compose, and external PostgreSQL.

In new terminal, install Coder in order to connect to your deployment through the CLI.
```
curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh
```
Run coder login <access url> and follow the interactive instructions to create your user.
Pull the "Docker" example template using the interactive coder templates init:
```
coder templates init
cd docker
```
Push up the template with coder templates create
Open the dashboard in your browser to create your first workspace:

Then navigate to Templates > docker > Create workspace

Now wait a few moments for the workspace to build... After the first build, the image is cached and subsequent builds will take a few seconds.
Your workspace is ready to go!

Open up a web application or SSH in.
If you want to modify the Docker image or template, edit the files in the previously created ./docker directory, then run coder templates push.
