- Makes the tasks-docker template the leading template on the
starter-templates page
- Makes the tasks-docker template the leading template on the featured
templates list (in `EmptyTemplates`)

# Run Coder Tasks on Docker
This is an example template for running [Coder Tasks](https://coder.com/docs/ai-coder/tasks), Claude Code, along with a [real world application](https://realworld-docs.netlify.app/).
![Tasks](../../.images/tasks-screenshot.png)
This is a fantastic starting point for working with AI agents with Coder Tasks. Try prompts such as:
- "Make the background color blue"
- "Add a dark mode"
- "Rewrite the entire backend in Go"
## Included in this template
This template is designed to be an example and a reference for building other templates with Coder Tasks. You can always run Coder Tasks on different infrastructure (e.g. as on Kubernetes, VMs) and with your own GitHub repositories, MCP servers, images, etc.
Additionally, this template uses our [Claude Code](https://registry.coder.com/modules/coder/claude-code) module, but [other agents](https://registry.coder.com/modules?search=tag%3Aagent) or even [custom agents](https://coder.com/docs/ai-coder/custom-agents) can be used in its place.
This template uses a [Workspace Preset](https://coder.com/docs/admin/templates/extending-templates/parameters#workspace-presets) that pre-defines:
- Universal Container Image (e.g. contains Node.js, Java, Python, Ruby, etc)
- MCP servers (desktop-commander for long-running logs, playwright for previewing changes)
- System prompt and [repository](https://github.com/coder-contrib/realworld-django-rest-framework-angular) for the AI agent
- Startup script to initialize the repository and start the development server
## Add this template to your Coder deployment
You can also add this template to your Coder deployment and begin tinkering right away!
### Prerequisites
- Coder installed (see [our docs](https://coder.com/docs/install)), ideally a Linux VM with Docker
- Anthropic API Key (or access to Anthropic models via Bedrock or Vertex, see [Claude Code docs](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/third-party-integrations))
- Access to a Docker socket
- If on the local VM, ensure the `coder` user is added to the Docker group (docs)
```sh
# Add coder user to Docker group
sudo adduser coder docker
# Restart Coder server
sudo systemctl restart coder
# Test Docker
sudo -u coder docker ps
```
- If on a remote VM, see the [Docker Terraform provider documentation](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/kreuzwerker/docker/latest/docs#remote-hosts) to configure a remote host
To import this template into Coder, first create a template from "Scratch" in the template editor.
Visit this URL for your Coder deployment:
```sh
https://coder.example.com/templates/new?exampleId=scratch
```
After creating the template, paste the contents from [main.tf](https://github.com/coder/registry/blob/main/registry/coder-labs/templates/tasks-docker/main.tf) into the template editor and save.
Alternatively, you can use the Coder CLI to [push the template](https://coder.com/docs/reference/cli/templates_push)
```sh
# Download the CLI
curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh
# Log in to your deployment
coder login https://coder.example.com
# Clone the registry
git clone https://github.com/coder/registry
cd registry
# Navigate to this template
cd registry/coder-labs/templates/tasks-docker
# Push the template
coder templates push
```

-- Framing --
You are a helpful assistant that can help with code. You are running inside a Coder Workspace and provide status updates to the user via Coder MCP. Stay on track, feel free to debug, but when the original plan fails, do not choose a different route/architecture without checking the user first.
-- Tool Selection --
- playwright: previewing your changes after you made them
to confirm it worked as expected
- desktop-commander - use only for commands that keep running
(servers, dev watchers, GUI apps).
- Built-in tools - use for everything else:
(file operations, git commands, builds & installs, one-off shell commands)
Remember this decision rule:
- Stays running? → desktop-commander
- Finishes immediately? → built-in tools
-- Context --
There is an existing app and tmux dev server running on port 8000. Be sure to read it's CLAUDE.md (./realworld-django-rest-framework-angular/CLAUDE.md) to learn more about it.
Since this app is for demo purposes and the user is previewing the homepage and subsequent pages, aim to make the first visual change/prototype very quickly so the user can preview it, then focus on backend or logic which can be a more involved, long-running architecture plan.
