Reorganizes Agents Settings navigation. Previously a flat sidebar with
admin items gated by a role check; now a two-level drill-down with user
settings at the top and admin destinations nested under a "Manage
Agents" sub-panel.
**Top Settings panel** (all users, sidebar title "Settings"):
| Destination | Route |
| --- | --- |
| General | `/agents/settings/general` |
| Compaction | `/agents/settings/compaction` |
| Secrets (API keys) | `/agents/settings/api-keys` |
| Manage Agents › (admin only) | drills into the admin sub-panel |
**Manage Agents sub-panel** (admin only, sidebar title "Manage Agents"):
| Destination | Route |
| --- | --- |
| Agents | `/agents/settings/agents` |
| Providers | `/agents/settings/providers` |
| Models | `/agents/settings/models` |
| MCP Servers | `/agents/settings/mcp-servers` |
| Templates | `/agents/settings/templates` |
| Spend | `/agents/settings/spend` |
| Instructions | `/agents/settings/instructions` |
| Experiments | `/agents/settings/experiments` |
| Lifecycle | `/agents/settings/lifecycle` |
| Insights | `/agents/settings/insights` |
On mobile, tapping "Manage Agents" lands on `/agents/settings/admin`, an
admin sub-panel index URL that shows the admin nav in the sidebar (so
admins can still reach every admin destination without desktop-width
viewports).
Key changes:
- **Split the monolithic Behavior page into five focused destinations**
(General, Compaction, Instructions, Experiments, Lifecycle) so non-admin
users no longer trigger deployment-scoped queries like
`chatSystemPrompt`, `chatDesktopEnabled`, or `chatWorkspaceTTL`.
Admin-only pages gate both route (via `RequirePermission`) and query
`enabled` flags.
- **Split chat debug logging into audience-specific components** so no
admin-gated controls remain in user-facing pages.
`AdminChatDebugLoggingSettings` (admin "Let users record chat debug
logs") now lives in the Experiments tab; `UserChatDebugLoggingSettings`
("Record debug logs for my chats") stays in General and only renders
when the admin has allowed user-level toggling.
- **Nested admin sub-panel** in the sidebar. `SidebarView` gains a
`"settings-admin"` panel; `sidebarViewFromPath` routes admin sections
into it. The slide animation and back button behavior extend cleanly. A
small `isSettingsView` helper was extracted alongside to avoid
duplicating the panel-membership check.
- **Renamed `/agents/settings/system-instructions` to
`/agents/settings/instructions`**. Sidebar label is "Instructions". Page
files renamed to `AgentSettingsInstructionsPage(View)` to match the
route slug (the other split pages all do).
- **Renamed "API Keys" to "Secrets (API keys)"** in the sidebar and page
header.
- **Added MCP Servers** entry to the sidebar (route already existed).
- **Added "Manage Coder Agents"** link at the bottom of the Deployment
settings sidebar (gated by `editDeploymentConfig`, matches the existing
`Groups ↗` external-link style).
- **Updated icons** across the sidebar: General uses `UserIcon`,
Compaction `ShrinkIcon`, Secrets `KeyIcon`, Manage Agents
`Settings2Icon`, Providers `PlugIcon`, MCP Servers `ServerIcon`, Spend
`CoinsIcon`, Instructions `ReceiptTextIcon`, Lifecycle `RefreshCwIcon`,
Insights `SparklesIcon`.
- **Storybook interaction coverage** restored and extended for the split
views: user-prompt save flow, invisible-Unicode warning detection,
system-prompt default toggle, workspace-TTL validation, virtual-desktop
toggle, compaction threshold save/reset/validation, retention
toggle/save-error/load-error parity, plan-mode instructions save, and a
mobile story verifying the admin sub-panel remains reachable after the
"Manage Agents" tap.
- **Unit tests** added for `sidebarViewFromPath` and `isSettingsView`
(17 cases covering chats, analytics, user sections, admin sections, the
new `/admin` index, non-admin fallthrough, and defaults).

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.
