Quickstart

This guide will walk you through creating your first template and workspace. If you haven't already installed coder, do that first here.

Creating your first template and workspace

In a new terminal window, run the following to copy a sample template:

coder templates init

Follow the CLI instructions to modify and create the template specific for your usage (e.g., a template to Develop in Linux on Google Cloud).

Create a workspace using your template:

coder create --template="yourTemplate" <workspaceName>

Connect to your workspace via SSH:

coder ssh <workspaceName>

If needed, you can edit the Terraform template using a sample template:

coder templates init
cd gcp-linux/
vim main.tf
coder templates update gcp-linux
