Use coder_{metadata, app} to expose kubeconfig

[hh]

• Use coder_metadata for kubeconfig Will need to wait until kubeconfig is available to have a terraform kubernetes_resource output to reference in a coder_metadata.

• Use coder_app to expose tmux or similar Will need a tty command to attach and possible a second coder_app to expose the web ui.

[hh]

Try this, it's a single go binary, run it within the pod: https://github.com/tsl0922/ttyd

[hh]

` sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake git libjson-c-dev libwebsockets-dev git clone https://github.com/tsl0922/ttyd.git cd ttyd && mkdir build && cd build cmake .. make && sudo make install

[hh]

• https://github.com/yudai/gotty

[hh]

Three ways to connect:

• coder_app with command (click to connect via web)
• coder_app with http://localhost:3838 for goTTY
• coder ssh WS tmux attach
• coder ssh to tty command

GoTTY appears to be five years unmaintained

ttyd looks pretty active: https://github.com/tsl0922/ttyd/graphs/contributors

Can't seem to find ttyd x86_64 / amd64 prebuilds https://github.com/tsl0922/ttyd/releases/tag/1.7.2

[hh]

On pair:

curl -LO https://github.com/tsl0922/ttyd/releases/download/1.7.2/ttyd.x86_64
chmod +x ttyd.x86_64
./ttyd.x86_64 --version
ttyd version 1.7.2-020e2f3

ttyd version 1.7.2-020e2f3 

Seems it was the last in the list. Missed that one. Thank you!

@BobyMCbobs please do not bother yourself with this issue. I am working on it.

[hh]

ttyd is working now. Let's swing back around to coder_app "kubeconfig"

The kubeconfig itself should be able to be populated via coder_metadata:

The kubeconfig itself should be able to be populated via coder_metadata:

https://coder.com/docs/coder-oss/latest/secrets#displaying-secrets

The problem we have been having to prevent this from being easy is due to how Terraform works. data will fetch the resource at the start and will not wait for the target resource to be created. This means that we will need to jump through hoops if to expose the kubeconfig at all.

Currently winding up with the following error

  data.kubernetes_secret_v1.kubeconfig: Refreshing...
  data.kubernetes_secret_v1.kubeconfig: Refresh complete after 0s
  Error: Attempt to get attribute from null value
  This value is null, so it does not have any attributes.

Managed to get it working through a sleep in https://github.com/sharingio/coder/commit/48a5757e8c327b28764a817623693aa0049db999 and it shows up in the UI under namespace

The success should be taken lightly though, considering that sleep can make things flakey.
