docs: replace enterprise-base image references with example-base (#27025)
Follow-up to #27018, sweeping the remaining `codercom/enterprise-base:ubuntu` references to `codercom/example-base:ubuntu` and `coder/enterprise-images` links to [coder/images](https://github.com/coder/images). The `example-` prefix is the recommended one for new deployments per the coder/images README. Covers the 11 docs pages flagged by doc-check on #27018 plus the embedded `examples/templates/docker` and `examples/templates/kubernetes` starter templates (image string only; the `image` variable lives in the coder/registry templates, see coder/registry#943). OpenShift imagestream names in `docs/install/openshift.md` keep the `enterprise-base` local name; only the upstream image reference changed. Part of DEVREL-201. 🤖 Generated with Coder Agents using Claude, on behalf of @bpmct |

docs: normalize code-fence languages for Shiki compatibility (#27161)
Normalizes non-standard code-fence language tags across `docs/**` so a strict highlighter (Shiki, used by Fumadocs) won't fail the build on an unrecognized language, and unifies redundant synonym tags onto one canonical form per language. The current renderer (Speed-Highlight) detects the language from the code content, not the fence label, so this drift wasn't visible until now. ## Changes - `hcl` -> `tf` (199 fences, including indented ones nested in numbered/bulleted lists). Shiki ships `hcl` and `terraform` as two distinct grammars (not aliases); every `hcl`-tagged fence in `docs/**` is actually Terraform resource/data/provider syntax, so the more specific `terraform` grammar is correct for all of them. `tf` is Shiki's own alias for that grammar, and it's also what GitHub's own markdown renderer resolves to the same HCL/Terraform highlighting. - `pwsh`/`powershell` -> `ps1`. Both `ps` and `ps1` are registered PowerShell aliases in Shiki, but on GitHub's renderer only `.ps1` is a registered file extension (`.ps` isn't), so `ps1` renders identically to `powershell` there today while bare `ps` would silently lose highlighting. - `env` -> `dotenv` (a dedicated Shiki grammar for `KEY=VALUE` files) - `text`/`output`/`none`/`url` -> `txt`. Same built-in plain-text fallback either way, just shorter. - `Dockerfile` -> `dockerfile` (lowercase) - `bash`/`shell` -> `sh` (732 fences). Shiki and GitHub both alias all three to a single shell grammar; this was already the style guide's stated preference, just not enforced across the existing corpus until now. - `markdown` -> `md` (4 fences). Alias of the same grammar in both Shiki and GitHub. - `jsonc` -> `json` (1 fence). The block has no comments or trailing commas, so it doesn't need the comments-capable grammar. - `ts` -> `tsx` (2 fences, `docs/about/contributing/frontend.md`). Verified the actual content tokenizes identically under both grammars, and a sibling block in the same file already needs `tsx` for real JSX, so unifying to one tag is safe for this file. Documented a caveat: `tsx` mis-tokenizes the legacy angle-bracket type-assertion syntax (`<Type>value`), which is invalid in real `.tsx` files anyway, so use `value as Type` instead. - `yml` -> `yaml` (1 fence) - Updated `docs/.style/style-guide/formatting.md` to document all canonical tags `promql` (2 fences) and `caddyfile` (2 fences) are left as-is. Shiki doesn't bundle a grammar for either, so they need a custom grammar registration when the site adopts Shiki, rather than degrading to `txt`. Tracked as follow-up work under DOCS-118 and [DOCS-544](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-544/vendor-a-local-promql-grammar-for-shiki-syntax-highlighting) (promql). Does not touch `offlinedocs/`. Linear: [DOCS-476](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-476/normalize-docs-code-fence-languages-de-risk-shikifumadocs) <details> <summary>How the fence tags were verified</summary> Each tag was tested against a real `shiki@latest` highlighter instance (`codeToHtml`/`codeToTokens`) and cross-checked against GitHub's `@wooorm/starry-night` grammar sources (the renderer that actually displays these `.md` files today, in repo browsing and PR diffs), since that's what determines whether brevity is safe before Shiki adoption: ```text FAIL env -- Language `env` is not included in this bundle. FAIL Dockerfile -- Language `Dockerfile` is not included in this bundle. FAIL promql -- Language `promql` is not included in this bundle. FAIL caddyfile -- Language `caddyfile` is not included in this bundle. FAIL pwsh -- Language `pwsh` is not included in this bundle. FAIL output -- Language `output` is not included in this bundle. ``` `hcl` doesn't error in Shiki, since it's a real grammar, but that's exactly the trap: it was silently rendering every fence with the generic HCL grammar instead of the Terraform-specific one. Every `hcl`-tagged fence in `docs/**` was manually checked against `origin/main` and is genuinely Terraform content. For `ts`/`tsx`, tokenizing the actual doc content confirmed identical output under both grammars; a synthetic test with the legacy angle-bracket cast syntax confirmed `tsx` degrades on that specific construct, which the style guide now calls out. The first normalization pass only matched fence tags at column 0 (`^```tag$`), missing tags indented inside numbered/bulleted lists. A follow-up pass caught the remaining occurrences at any indentation level. </details> --- *This PR description and the underlying changes were prepared with Coder Agents assistance.* |

docs: update template creation docs for template builder (#26993)
## Summary
Update documentation across 9 files to present the template builder as
the primary template creation method, replacing the old starter
templates flow as the default entry point.
The template builder is a guided wizard that lets admins select base
infrastructure, add registry modules, configure variables, and produce
validated Terraform without writing HCL.
## Changes
**Primary docs (significant rewrites):**
- `docs/admin/templates/creating-templates.md`: Added "Using the
template builder" as the first section with full 5-step wizard
documentation, screenshots, airgap/registry notes, and alternative
creation links. Moved CLI starter template flow to its own section.
Fixed "You can the" typo.
- `docs/get-started/index.md`: Rewrote Steps 4-6 to use the builder with
the Docker base template instead of the Coder Quickstart (which is not a
builder base template). Generalized workspace parameter instructions.
- `docs/start/first-template.md`: Rewrote to use the builder. Removed
old starter templates references, TODO notes, typo, and commented-out
sections.
**Secondary docs (targeted edits):**
- `docs/admin/templates/index.md`: Replaced starter templates section
with builder-first "Create a template" section.
- `docs/admin/templates/managing-templates/index.md`: Renamed "Starter
templates" to "Creating templates" pointing to the builder.
- `docs/install/airgap.md`: Added "Template builder" section documenting
`CODER_DISABLE_TEMPLATE_BUILDER` and
`CODER_TEMPLATE_BUILDER_REGISTRY_URL`.
- `docs/tutorials/template-from-scratch.md`: Added TIP callout
recommending the builder. Fixed `coder templates create` -> `coder
templates push` inconsistency.
- `docs/admin/integrations/devcontainers/envbuilder/add-envbuilder.md`:
Updated Dashboard tab to reference the builder and "Upload an existing
template" alternative.
- `docs/about/screenshots.md`: Updated caption and image reference for
template builder.
**Screenshots added:**
- `templatebuilder_01_bases.png` (base selection step)
- `templatebuilder_02_modules.png` (module selection step)
- `templatebuilder_03_module_customization.png` (module settings step)
- `templatebuilder_04_customizations.png` (template customizations step)
<details>
<summary>Implementation plan</summary>
# Plan: Update docs/ for Template Builder Launch
## Summary
The Template Builder is a new guided wizard at `/templates/new/builder`
that lets admins create templates by selecting a base infrastructure
template, composing it with registry modules, configuring variables, and
producing a validated Terraform bundle without writing HCL. The docs
need to be updated to present this as the primary/recommended template
creation path, while preserving the existing paths (upload, CLI,
duplicate) as alternatives.
## Key behavioral facts from the code
- **Route**: `/templates/new/builder` (new), `/templates/new` (old,
still exists)
- **Entry point**: The "New Template" button on the Templates page links
to `/templates/new/builder` when the builder is enabled; otherwise falls
back to `/starter-templates`
- **5-step wizard**:
1. **Select base infrastructure** (e.g., Docker, AWS EC2, Kubernetes)
2. **Base template parameters** (optional, skipped if base has none)
3. **Select modules** (IDE, AI Agent, Source Control, etc.;
multi-select, grouped by category)
4. **Module settings** (optional, skipped if no configurable variables)
5. **Template customizations** (name, display name, description, icon,
organization)
- **Alternative creation links** are shown on step 1: "Start from
scratch", "Upload an existing template", "Browse community templates",
"Use template agent skill"
- **Disabled via**: `CODER_DISABLE_TEMPLATE_BUILDER` env var /
`--disable-template-builder` flag. When disabled, redirects to old
`/templates/new` flow
- **Registry URL override**: `CODER_TEMPLATE_BUILDER_REGISTRY_URL`
(default: `registry.coder.com`)
- **Requires outbound access** to `registry.coder.com` for `terraform
init` at compose time
- **Modules are bundled** with the Coder release binary; the builder
does not fetch metadata from the registry at runtime
- **Sensitive variables** (secrets) are not collected by the builder;
they are deferred to workspace creation time
- **Module conflicts** show a warning but do not block creation
- **One-way**: No re-entry into the builder for existing templates; edit
HCL directly after creation
## Files to update
### Tier 1: Primary creation flow docs (significant rewrites)
#### 1. `docs/admin/templates/creating-templates.md`
**Current state**: Documents three creation paths: "From a starter
template" (primary), "From an existing template", "From scratch
(advanced)".
**Changes**:
- Add a new section **"Using the template builder"** as the first and
primary section (before "From a starter template").
- Describe the 5-step wizard flow: select base infrastructure, configure
base parameters, select modules, configure module settings, set template
customizations.
- Mention that the builder is enabled by default and requires outbound
access to `registry.coder.com`.
- Note that sensitive variables are collected from developers at
workspace creation, not during template building.
- Add a callout about disabling the builder for airgapped deployments
(`CODER_DISABLE_TEMPLATE_BUILDER`).
- Note the `CODER_TEMPLATE_BUILDER_REGISTRY_URL` option for self-hosted
registry mirrors.
- Keep existing "From a starter template", "From an existing template",
and "From scratch" sections largely intact, but reframe them as
alternative paths.
- Update the "From a starter template" Web UI instructions to note the
new entry point routing (the "New Template" button now goes to the
builder when enabled).
- Fix existing typo: "You can the [Coder CLI]" should be "You can use
the [Coder CLI]".
#### 2. `docs/start/first-template.md`
**Current state**: Beginner tutorial walking through creating a template
from the Docker starter template via the old flow. Has a typo (`s` at
end of line 32), commented-out workspace creation section, and TODO
notes.
**Changes**:
- Rewrite steps 2 and 3 to use the Template Builder as the primary path.
- Step 2: Navigate to **Templates**, select **New Template**, which
opens the Template Builder.
- Step 3: Walk through the builder wizard steps (select Docker base,
optionally select modules like code-server, configure template
name/description, create).
- Remove the typo on line 32 (`s`).
- Keep the "Modify your template" section (step 6) intact since it
covers post-creation editing which is unchanged.
- Remove or update the reference to "Starter Templates" as a separate
page since the builder subsumes that entry point.
#### 3. `docs/get-started/index.md`
**Current state**: Quickstart guide. Step 4 says "Select **Templates** →
**New Template**" then pick "Coder Quickstart" from starter templates.
**Changes**:
- Update Step 4 to describe using the Template Builder.
- The flow becomes: Select **Templates** → **New Template** → builder
opens → select **Coder Quickstart** as the base template → optionally
add modules → set name/description → **Create Template**.
- Update the "What just happened?" explanation to mention the builder
composed and validated the Terraform.
- Screenshot reference `create-quickstart-template.png` will need a new
screenshot (note this in the PR; screenshots are out of scope for this
change but should be flagged).
### Tier 2: Secondary references (targeted edits)
#### 4. `docs/admin/templates/index.md`
**Current state**: Overview page mentioning starter templates as the
primary creation path.
**Changes**:
- Update the "Starter templates" section to mention the Template Builder
as the recommended way to create templates, with starter templates
serving as base templates within the builder.
- Update the link to point to the builder section: `[Create a template
with the template
builder](./creating-templates.md#using-the-template-builder)`.
- Update the screenshot reference and caption. The "Starter Templates"
page screenshot may no longer be the first thing admins see.
#### 5. `docs/admin/templates/managing-templates/index.md`
**Current state**: Documents starter templates, editing, updating,
deleting.
**Changes**:
- Update the "Starter templates" section to mention the Template Builder
as the primary creation path, with starter templates available as base
templates within it.
- Update the image reference from `starter-templates.png` if it shows
the old flow.
#### 6. `docs/tutorials/template-from-scratch.md`
**Current state**: Detailed tutorial for writing a template from scratch
with Terraform.
**Changes**:
- Add a brief note at the top recommending the Template Builder for
users who want to create templates without writing Terraform, with a
link to
`docs/admin/templates/creating-templates.md#using-the-template-builder`.
- In section "7. Create the template in Coder" → "Dashboard" tab, update
the UI steps. The "Upload template" option is now accessed via the old
creation flow at `/templates/new` (or through the "Upload an existing
template" link in the builder's alternatives).
- Fix the inconsistency where text says `coder templates create` but the
code block uses `coder templates push`.
#### 7.
`docs/admin/integrations/devcontainers/envbuilder/add-envbuilder.md`
**Current state**: Documents creating envbuilder templates via
Dashboard, CLI, and Registry tabs.
**Changes**:
- In the Dashboard tab, update the instructions. The "Create Template"
button now opens the builder by default. Users need to use the "Upload
an existing template" alternative link or navigate to `/templates/new`
directly.
- Update "From scratch" reference since that option is now an
alternative link in the builder.
- The CLI and Registry tabs remain unchanged.
#### 8. `docs/install/airgap.md`
**Current state**: Documents air-gapped installations. No mention of
Template Builder.
**Changes**:
- Add a note in the relevant section about the Template Builder
requiring outbound access to `registry.coder.com`.
- Document `CODER_DISABLE_TEMPLATE_BUILDER` for fully air-gapped
deployments.
- Document `CODER_TEMPLATE_BUILDER_REGISTRY_URL` for deployments using a
self-hosted registry mirror.
#### 9. `docs/about/screenshots.md`
**Current state**: Contains a caption "Template administrators can
either create a new Template from scratch or choose a Starter Template".
**Changes**:
- Update the caption to mention the Template Builder as the primary
creation method.
- Screenshot reference may need updating (flag for new screenshot).
### Tier 3: Minor/link-only updates
#### 10. `docs/admin/users/organizations.md`
- If it references the old "Create Template" screen with an org picker,
add a note that the Template Builder also includes organization
selection in its final step.
#### 11. `docs/ai-coder/tasks.md`
- If it mentions creating templates, add a passing reference to the
Template Builder as an option.
## Files NOT to update
- `docs/reference/api/templatebuilder.md`: Auto-generated API reference.
Already correct.
- `docs/reference/api/schemas.md`: Auto-generated. Already correct.
- `docs/reference/cli/server.md`: Auto-generated. Already has
`--disable-template-builder` and `--template-builder-registry-url`.
- `docs/reference/cli/templates_create.md`: Already deprecated.
- `docs/reference/cli/templates.md`: No changes needed.
## Implementation order
1. `docs/admin/templates/creating-templates.md` (primary creation docs,
most content)
2. `docs/get-started/index.md` (quickstart)
3. `docs/start/first-template.md` (beginner tutorial)
4. `docs/admin/templates/index.md` (overview)
5. `docs/admin/templates/managing-templates/index.md` (managing
overview)
6. `docs/install/airgap.md` (airgap note)
7. `docs/tutorials/template-from-scratch.md` (from-scratch tutorial)
8. `docs/admin/integrations/devcontainers/envbuilder/add-envbuilder.md`
(envbuilder)
9. `docs/about/screenshots.md` (screenshot captions)
10. Minor link/reference updates in tier 3 files
## Style notes
- Follow the Diataxis framework; keep tutorials as tutorials, reference
as reference.
- Use present tense, active voice, second person.
- Bold for UI elements: **Templates**, **New Template**, **Create
Template**.
- No emdash/endash.
- Do not add screenshots; flag where new screenshots are needed as
comments/TODOs.
- Run `make fmt/markdown` and `make lint/markdown` after all changes.
- Verify all pages are already in `docs/manifest.json` (no new pages
being added, only existing pages being updated).

docs: add a Customize your template series under Get started (#26712)
## What Adds a **Customize your template** series under the top-level **Get started** section, at `docs/get-started/customize-your-template/`. These guides extend the single-page Quickstart (added in #26821) with hands-on template customization: - **Add a programming language** — expose a language through a parameter, install it at startup, and offer it as a preset. - **Install your own command-line tools** — install personal tools with Homebrew and mise, and make them persist. - **Clone private repositories** — authenticate workspaces to GitHub with an external-auth data source. ## Changes from the earlier draft This branch was rebased onto the consolidated `/docs/get-started` structure: - Re-homed the series from `tutorials/quickstart/` to `get-started/customize-your-template/`, nested under the new Get started section. - Dropped the Part 1 launch page and the old landing page; the merged Quickstart (`get-started/index.md`, #26821) already covers them. - Archived the dotfiles guide out of the series (tracked as a follow-up to document the dotfiles module as a standalone tutorial) and removed its inbound links. - Renamed the section to **Customize your template**. - Added a Ruby **preset** alongside the Ruby parameter so the parameter and preset choices stay in sync. - Fixed the parameter-change steps to route through **Workspace settings > Parameters**. - Gave each page a **What's next?** step so the series reads as a sequence. ## Still open / follow-ups - Screenshots for the UI steps (handled separately). - The launch step will be revised after the template-builder change ships in the next mainline release. <details> <summary>Decision log</summary> - **Why re-home, not keep `tutorials/quickstart/`:** the Quickstart now lives at `/docs/get-started`, so the series belongs under the same top-level section for a single, coherent entry point. - **Why drop Part 1 here:** the launch content already merged as `get-started/index.md` in #26821; keeping a second copy would duplicate and drift. - **Why archive dotfiles:** it works better as a standalone module tutorial than as a Quickstart step; removed from the series for now and tracked for later. - **Final code fixtures** stay scoped per guide (base template plus that page's edit), so only the language guide's fixture gains the Ruby option and preset. </details> --- Generated by Coder Agents on behalf of @nickvigilante. |
