App Suggestion: Coder

[Ratatinator97]

Please tell us what app you'd like to see on CapRover as a one-click app. Coder is a Github Codespaces OSS self-hosted alternative. It is software development on any infrastructure. Here is the docker setup tutorial: https://coder.com/docs/coder-oss/latest/quickstart/docker

Do you know if there is any official Docker image for the app? ghcr.io/coder/coder:latest

There is already a one click app for Coder I think. https://github.com/caprover/one-click-apps/blob/master/public/v4/apps/vscode-coder.yml

[Ratatinator97]

It's only a VS-Code server implementation. Not the Coder stack completely.

Did you create that?

            Warning
            Coder is now available is available at http://$$cap_appname.$$cap_root_domain but it is not yet fully functional ! You have to open a shell into the coder container.

Coder needs precise file permissions for some of their directories. I had, at each restart, to manually chmod some folder. I precised it in the Captain app description.

I didn't continue to work on this after that.
