This PR copies the templates in coder/coder/examples/templates over to the registry, so that template contribution can be done through the registry. For now, the starter templates in the coder/coder binary and the templates available in coder/registry will simply be different constructs, until we find a solution we like around a single source of truth for templates that doesn't raise hairy semver concerns for coder/coder: https://codercom.slack.com/archives/C05T7165ET1/p1749493368773469
Coder Registry
Registry Site • Coder OSS • Coder Docs • Official Discord
Coder Registry is a community-driven platform for extending your Coder workspaces. Publish reusable Terraform as Coder Modules for users all over the world.
Note
The Coder Registry repo will be updated to support Coder Templates in the coming weeks. You can currently find all official templates in the official coder/coder repo, under the
examples/templatesdirectory.
Overview
Coder is built on HashiCorp's open-source Terraform language to provide developers an easy, declarative way to define the infrastructure for their remote development environments. Coder-flavored versions of Terraform allow you to mix in reusable Terraform snippets to add integrations with other popular development tools, such as JetBrains, Cursor, or Visual Studio Code.
Simply add the correct import snippet, along with any data dependencies, and your workspace can start using the new functionality immediately.
More information about Coder Modules can be found here, while more information about Coder Templates can be found here.
Getting started
The easiest way to discover new modules and templates is by visiting the official Coder Registry website. The website is a full mirror of the Coder Registry repo, and it is where .tar versions of the various resources can be downloaded from, for use within your Coder deployment.
Note that while Coder has a baseline set of requirements for allowing an external PR to be published, Coder cannot vouch for the validity or functionality of a resource until that resource has been flagged with the verified status. All modules under the Coder namespace are automatically verified.
Getting started with modules
To get started with a module, navigate to that module's page in either the registry site, or the main repo:
In both cases, the main README contains a Terraform snippet for integrating the module into your workspace. The snippet for Cursor looks like this:
module "cursor" {
count = data.coder_workspace.me.start_count
source = "registry.coder.com/coder/cursor/coder"
version = "1.0.19"
agent_id = coder_agent.example.id
}
Simply include that snippet inside your Coder template, defining any data dependencies referenced, and the next time you create a new workspace, the functionality will be ready for you to use.
