Closes #17982. The purpose of this PR is to expose network latency via the API used by Coder Desktop. This PR has the tunnel ping all known agents every 5 seconds, in order to produce an instance of: ```proto message LastPing { // latency is the RTT of the ping to the agent. google.protobuf.Duration latency = 1; // did_p2p indicates whether the ping was sent P2P, or over DERP. bool did_p2p = 2; // preferred_derp is the human readable name of the preferred DERP region, // or the region used for the last ping, if it was sent over DERP. string preferred_derp = 3; // preferred_derp_latency is the last known latency to the preferred DERP // region. Unset if the region does not appear in the DERP map. optional google.protobuf.Duration preferred_derp_latency = 4; } ``` The contents of this message are stored and included on all subsequent upsertions of the agent. Note that we upsert existing agents every 5 seconds to update the `last_handshake` value. On the desktop apps, this message will be used to produce a tooltip similar to that of the VS Code extension: <img width="495" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d8b65f3d-f536-4c64-9af9-35c1a42c92d2" /> (wording not final) Unlike the VS Code extension, we omit: - The Latency of *all* available DERP regions. It seems not ideal to send a copy of this entire map for every online agent, and it certainly doesn't make sense for it to be on the `Agent` or `LastPing` message. If we do want to expose this info on Coder Desktop, we should consider how best to do so; maybe we want to include it on a more generic `Netcheck` message. - The current throughput (Bytes up/down). This is out of scope of the linked issue, and is non-trivial to implement. I'm also not sure of the value given the frequency we're doing these status updates (every 5 seconds). If we want to expose it, it'll be in a separate PR. <img width="343" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/8447d03b-9721-4111-8ac1-332d70a1e8f1" />
Coder enables organizations to set up development environments in their public or private cloud infrastructure. Cloud development environments are defined with Terraform, connected through a secure high-speed Wireguard® tunnel, and automatically shut down when not used to save on costs. Coder gives engineering teams the flexibility to use the cloud for workloads most beneficial to them.
- Define cloud development environments in Terraform
- EC2 VMs, Kubernetes Pods, Docker Containers, etc.
- Automatically shutdown idle resources to save on costs
- Onboard developers in seconds instead of days
Quickstart
The most convenient way to try Coder is to install it on your local machine and experiment with provisioning cloud development environments using Docker (works on Linux, macOS, and Windows).
# First, install Coder
curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh
# Start the Coder server (caches data in ~/.cache/coder)
coder server
# Navigate to http://localhost:3000 to create your initial user,
# create a Docker template and provision a workspace
Install
The easiest way to install Coder is to use our
install script for Linux
and macOS. For Windows, use the latest ..._installer.exe file from GitHub
Releases.
curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh
You can run the install script with --dry-run to see the commands that will be used to install without executing them. Run the install script with --help for additional flags.
See install for additional methods.
Once installed, you can start a production deployment with a single command:
# Automatically sets up an external access URL on *.try.coder.app
coder server
# Requires a PostgreSQL instance (version 13 or higher) and external access URL
coder server --postgres-url <url> --access-url <url>
Use coder --help to get a list of flags and environment variables. Use our install guides for a complete walkthrough.
