We have an effort underway to replace `dbmem` (#15109), and consequently we've begun running our full test-suite (with Postgres) on all supported OSs - Windows, MacOS, and Linux, since #15520. Since this change, we've seen a marked decrease in the success rate of our builds on `main` (note how the Windows/MacOS failures account for the vast majority of failed builds):  We're still investigating why these OSs are a lot less reliable. It's likely that the VMs on which the builds are run have different characteristics from our Ubuntu runners such as disk I/O, network latency, or something else. **In the meantime, we need to start trusting CI failures in `main` again, as the current failures are too noisy / vague for us to correct.** We've also considered hosting our own runners where possible so we can get OS-level observability to rule out some possibilities. See the [meeting notes](https://www.notion.so/coderhq/CI-Investigation-Call-Notes-17dd579be59280d8897cc9fe4bb46695?pvs=6&utm_content=17dd579b-e592-80d8-897c-c9fe4bb46695&utm_campaign=T1ZPT2FL0&n=slack&n=slack_link_unfurl) where we linked into this for more detail. This PR introduces several changes: 1. Moves the full test-suite with Postgres on Windows/MacOS to the `nightly-gauntlet` workflow tradeoff: this means that any regressions may be more difficult to discover since we merge to main several times a day 2. Run only the CLI test-suite on each PR / merge to `main` on Windows/MacOS 3. `test-go` is still running the full test-suite against all OSs (including the CLI ones), but will soon be removed once #15109 is completed since it uses `dbmem` 4. Changes `nightly-gauntlet` to run at 4AM: we've seen several instances of the runner being stopped externally, and we're _guessing_ this may have something to do with the midnight UTC execution time, when other cron jobs may run 5. Removes the existing `nightly-gauntlet` jobs since they haven't passed in a long time, indicating that nobody cares enough to fix them and they don't provide diagnostic value; we can restore them later if necessary I've manually run both these new workflows successfully: - `ci`: https://github.com/coder/coder/actions/runs/12825874176/job/35764724907 - `nightly-gauntlet`: https://github.com/coder/coder/actions/runs/12825539092 --------- Signed-off-by: Danny Kopping <danny@coder.com> Co-authored-by: Muhammad Atif Ali <atif@coder.com>
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.
