By default the Coder workspace boot sequence occurs remotely -- Coder uploads
assets (including the Coder agent, code-server, and JetBrains Projector) from
coderd
to a workspace.
However, Coder offers the option of using self-contained workspace builds.
Enabling this option changes the Coder deployment so that workspaces control the
boot sequence internally, with the workspace downloading assets from coderd
.
At this time, Coder does not support certificate injection with self-contained workspace builds.
To enable self-contained workspace builds:
- Log into Coder.
- Go to Manage > Admin.
- On the Infrastructure page, scroll down to Workspace container runtime.
- Under Enable self-contained workspace builds, flip the toggle to On.
- Click Save workspaces.
Build errors are typically more verbose for remote builds than with self-contained builds.
