Andrew AquinoandJeremy Ruppel 2ab3d1010f fix(site): enable sticky positioning inside #main-content (#26907)
ref DEVEX-567

Fixes a bug I noticed where #26881 claims to have made the template
builder's `SelectionSummary` sidebar sticky-positioned, but the sidebar
position wasn't actually sticky in practice:

Why I removed `overflow-y-auto` from `#main-content`:

>`position: sticky` resolves against the nearest ancestor scroll
container — any ancestor whose overflow is not visible. `#main-content`
had `overflow-y-auto`, so it _was_ that container for the sidebar. But
because the layout wrapper is `min-h-screen`, `<main>` grows to fit its
content and never actually scrolls — the window scrolls. So the sidebar
was pinning relative to a container that never moves → no effect.

That was necessary for the main goal of this PR, which was to fix sticky
positioning for the template builder's `SelectionSummary` sidebar.
However, removing that style from `#main-content` affected 2 other
sticky-positioned elements within the site:

>Two other pages have sticky elements that, like our sidebar, were
resolving against the non-scrolling `<main>` and were therefore
effectively inert:
>- CreateWorkspacePageView.tsx:397 — `sticky top-5` side panel
>- modules/templates/TemplateFiles/TemplateFiles.tsx:64 — `sticky top-8`
file tree

^Like `SelectionSummary`, these 2 elements hadn't been behaving with
sticky positioning as expected; they would just scroll away past the top
of the screen.

For all 3 of these sticky elements, since their `top` is now relative to
the window instead of `#main-content`, they have to be positioned
farther downward so that they don't get covered by the navbar.

Coder is a self-hosted platform for cloud development environments and AI coding agents. Workspaces are defined with Terraform, connected through a secure Wireguard® tunnel, and automatically shut down when not used. Coder Agents runs a native AI coding agent whose loop executes in the control plane on your infrastructure, with no API keys in workspaces.

  • 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
  • Delegate coding work to AI agents on your infrastructure
    • Bring any model (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Bedrock, self-hosted)
    • No LLM credentials in workspaces, user identity on every action
    • Centralized model governance, cost tracking, and audit logging

Coder platform showing templates and a running workspace

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 the 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. See the install guides for a complete tutorial.
