But I cannot find in docs or figure out what value is used for the abc123 hash part in abc123-code-server.
Is there a variable that can be used here or exposed through the terraform template? Or maybe there is a better way to get the path for absProxyBasePath?
\nIt seems to be persistent across multiple workspaces and only changed when I used a different repository as base.
\nAny help will be greatly appreciated!
\nFor context this is my devcontainer.json:

Hi! The issue is I need to pass the So the full path when using code-server proxy within coder workspace is for example: I can dynamically build most of it for the "absProxyBasePath": "/@${localEnv:CODER_WORKSPACE_OWNER_NAME}/${localEnv:CODER_WORKSPACE_NAME}.${localWorkspaceFolderBasename}/apps/abc123-code-server",But I cannot find in docs or figure out what value is used for the abc123 hash part in Is there a variable that can be used here or exposed through the terraform template?

We should definitely aim to improve this in the future. At the moment we compute a hash for each app as apps have to have a unique name for a workspace (multiple agents using the same name for an app causes issues). To work around this we compute a hash, you can see this here: coder/coderd/agentapi/subagent.go Lines 170 to 177 in 6f86f67 We haven't got any backwards compatibility guarantees on this hash but there is currently nothing planned for changing it. |

Thank you very much for your fast and detailed answers. Using the I've tried to calculate the slug within a terraform template to provide it as ENV variable and archive fully automatic process, but the lack of a working base32 encode function is an issue (tried few custom providers but all had problems, maybe I will write my own, but I have to learn more about Terraform). My idea was to use a part of workspace id as name to calculate unique slug within terraform and expose both as ENV. I could then use the slug in Suggetsions
It would be enough to provide only the part as the /@${localEnv:CODER_WORKSPACE_OWNER_NAME}/${localEnv:CODER_WORKSPACE_NAME}.${localWorkspaceFolderBasename}/apps/
resource "coder_app" "code-server" {
agent_id = coder_agent.main.id
slug = "code-server"
display_name = "code-server"
url = "http://localhost:13337/?folder=/home/${local.username}"
icon = "/icon/code.svg"
subdomain = false
share = "owner"
(...)
}I assume it does not affect the devcontainer feature tho, but maybe a similar approach would work. |
