Description
This does not appear to be related to #3511 but even so, that looks like it is one of Coder's dogfood instances with metadata
which is no what I am using.
As a new Coder OSS user, where my organization uses AWS only, I would like to experiment with Coder. I have no interest in trying any of the Docker templates, which may be easy.
The docs lead me down a rabbit hole of do I need to use the AWS provider since you reference all the cloud providers.
https://coder.com/docs/coder-oss/latest/templates/authentication
Then I run coder templates init
and see an AWS Linux VM example so create that. I see the AWS provider down the main.tf versus at the top.
I figured out that I need to install the aws
CLI on my host running Coder, and then run aws configure
. Again, this is not documented. At this point, fingers crossed, I can guess Coder can provision workspaces.
Then I coder templates create
the template into Coder, and create a workspace, at which:
- Joy, 🥳 I see a VM in my AWS console
- Boo, 💩 the Coder workspace UI is stuck in
connecting
status and thecode-server
coder_app
that I added does not come up.
Coder provider: 0.4.8
Coder version: 0.8.5
There is no documentation on how to troubleshoot things like this. My VM doesn't let me SSH in, so I'm basically in a pickle until an expert helps me out.
