Add 6 new base templates to the template builder, covering all major cloud providers and platforms: - **scratch**: Minimal starter template with only `coder_agent` and metadata - **aws-windows**: AWS EC2 Windows instances with PowerShell user_data - **azure-linux**: Azure VMs with cloud-init and managed disk persistence - **gcp-linux**: Google Compute Engine Linux instances with persistent disk - **gcp-windows**: Google Compute Engine Windows instances - **digitalocean-linux**: DigitalOcean Linux droplets with persistent volumes Each base includes `base.json`, `main.tf.tmpl`, `README.md` (with prerequisite markers), and any static files (cloud-init configs). Tests verify all 9 bases load, render without error, and produce valid single-agent declarations. `azure-windows` is deferred; it needs to be registered in the `examples` package first. Depends on #26633 > [!NOTE] > This PR was authored by Coder Agents on behalf of @jeremyruppel. --- NB: This is very much an agent-generated PR and draws completely from base templates that exist in `examples/templates/`. The base.json files are new, so review those, but don't spend any brain tokens on the correctness of the terraform and supporting files: any issues there are issues with the upstream example template

Remote Development on DigitalOcean Droplets
Provision DigitalOcean Droplets as Coder workspaces with this example template.
Prerequisites
To deploy workspaces as DigitalOcean Droplets, you'll need:
-
DigitalOcean personal access token (PAT)
-
DigitalOcean project ID (you can get your project information via the
doctlCLI by runningdoctl projects list)-
Remove the following sections from the
main.tffile if you don't want to associate your workspaces with a project:variable "project_uuid"resource "digitalocean_project_resources" "project"
-
-
Optional: DigitalOcean SSH key ID (obtain via the
doctlCLI by runningdoctl compute ssh-key list)- Note that this is only required for Fedora images to work.
Authentication
This template assumes that the Coder Provisioner is run in an environment that is authenticated with Digital Ocean.
Obtain a Digital Ocean Personal Access Token and set the DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN environment variable to the access token.
For other ways to authenticate consult the Terraform provider's docs.
Architecture
This template provisions the following resources:
- DigitalOcean VM (ephemeral, deleted on stop)
- Managed disk (persistent, mounted to
/home/coder)
This means, when the workspace restarts, any tools or files outside of the home directory are not persisted. To pre-bake tools into the workspace (e.g. python3), modify the VM image, or use a startup script.
Note
This template is designed to be a starting point! Edit the Terraform to extend the template to support your use case.
