Closes [DOCS-327](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-327/trigger-docs-reindex-on-codercoder-releasepublished). ## What Add `release: { types: [published] }` to `.github/workflows/deploy-docs.yaml` so that publishing a stable `vX.Y.Z` GitHub Release on this repo auto-dispatches the docs-sync handler against the corresponding `release/X.Y` branch. The existing `push` and `workflow_dispatch` triggers are unchanged. The `Compute action and ref` step gains a release-event branch that: - Skips prereleases (`github.event.release.prerelease == true`) with a workflow notice. - Matches the tag against `^v([0-9]+)\.([0-9]+)\.[0-9]+$` and translates `v2.35.0` to `release/2.35`. - Falls through with a notice and `exit 0` for any tag that doesn't match the plain semver shape (`v2.35`, `v2.35.0-rc.1`, etc.). Downstream validation, HMAC body construction, and the POST step are unchanged. The POST step gains an `if: steps.input.outputs.action != ''` guard so the two `exit 0` paths skip the POST instead of sending empty `action`/`ref` to the production handler. A new `.github/workflows/test-deploy-docs-release.sh` exercises the release-event bash against the 11 event scenarios in the table below plus 3 regex boundary cases, mirroring the existing `test-deploy-docs-diff.sh` pattern. ## Why Today, every mainline rollover requires a human to dispatch this workflow manually with `action=index, ref=release/X.Y`. We just hit this rotation friction on [DOCS-324](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-324/rotate-algolia-indexer-allowlist-for-v234-launch-add-release234-drop) (v2.34 launch) and the resulting empty-search-results incident on `/docs/@v2.34.x/...`. `release.published` is the right cue: it fires exactly when a version becomes user-visible, not when its release branch is cut weeks earlier with possibly-incomplete docs. ## Coupling (important) This change is **intentionally inert until coder.com's `INDEXED_REFS_BY_CORPUS` allowlist becomes self-rotating** (filed under [DOCS-210](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-210/automated-docs-index-lifecycle-management)). Until that lands, the handler still rejects new minors with `{action: "skipped", reason: "...not in INDEXED_REFS_BY_CORPUS"}` and this workflow logs the skip. Pre-wiring lets both halves land roughly in parallel so the next release cut after both ship is automatic. Reviewers: feel free to merge this independently. There is no downside to the wiring being live before the allowlist half ships; worst case, every release-publish event creates a no-op workflow run. ## Behavior trace (the cases the bash handles) <details> <summary>11 event scenarios I walked through by hand</summary> | Event | Tag | prerelease | Result | |---|---|---|---| | push to main | n/a | n/a | `index`, `ref=main` (existing) | | push to release/2.34 | n/a | n/a | `index`, `ref=release/2.34` (existing) | | workflow_dispatch index release/2.34 | n/a | n/a | `index`, `ref=release/2.34` (existing) | | workflow_dispatch delete release/2.31 | n/a | n/a | `delete`, `ref=release/2.31` (existing) | | release.published | `v2.35.0` | `false` | `index`, `ref=release/2.35` (new) | | release.published | `v2.35.0-rc.1` | `true` | notice + `exit 0` (new) | | release.published | `v2.35.0-rc.1` | `false` | notice + `exit 0`, regex miss (new) | | release.published | `v2.35` | `false` | notice + `exit 0`, regex miss (new) | | release.published | `release-2.35` | `false` | notice + `exit 0`, regex miss (new) | | release.published | `v0.0.0` | `false` | `index`, `ref=release/0.0` then handler rejects via allowlist (defense in depth) | | release.published | `` (empty) | unset | notice with `<unknown>` + `exit 0` | </details> ## Safety - The handler's allowlist gate still applies; this PR can only cause `{action: "skipped"}` responses until DOCS-210's allowlist-derivation lands. No risk of indexing an unintended ref. - The workflow's existing input validation (`case "$REF" in main|release/*)`) rejects any translation output that isn't `release/<int>.<int>`. Defense in depth in case the regex ever loosens by accident. - [DOCS-121](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-121/post-mortem-docs-search-outage-2026-05-12-pr-25049-merge-wiped-docs) self-trigger risk is not present here: the new trigger is `release.published`, not push-on-paths. Workflow file edits cannot induce a release event. - `concurrency: { group: deploy-docs-${{ github.ref }} }` already exists. Release events have `github.ref=refs/tags/vX.Y.Z`, distinct from push events on the same release branch. A theoretical race resolves through the handler's atomic deleteBy+saveObjects. - The POST step now has an `if:` guard that skips downstream calls when the Compute step exits early without writing outputs. Closes the empty-env-var failure mode that coder-agents-review CRF-1 flagged. ## Verification - `actionlint .github/workflows/deploy-docs.yaml` clean. - `make pre-commit-light` clean: `fmt/shfmt`, `fmt/markdown`, `lint/actions/actionlint`, `lint/shellcheck`, `lint/markdown`, `lint/emdash`, `lint/typos`, etc. - `.github/workflows/test-deploy-docs-release.sh`: 14 cases pass (11 scenario table + 3 regex boundary cases). - Bash logic hand-traced through 11 event scenarios (table above). ## Out of scope - Build-time allowlist derivation in coder.com (DOCS-210a, will be filed/PR'd as a sibling change). - Webhook-driven cleanup of aged-out refs ([DOCS-210](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-210) parent). - code-server release lifecycle (different repo, code-server's docs corpus stays at `main`). --- _Coder Agents on behalf of @nickvigilante._
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
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.
