blink-so[bot] b427fe3f6a docs: Standardize module examples to use coder_agent.main
Update all module README files to use coder_agent.main instead of
coder_agent.example for consistency with existing template conventions.

Changes:
- Updated 50+ module README.md files
- Updated root README.md and CONTRIBUTING.md
- Updated examples/templates/main.tf

This ensures copy-paste examples from module docs work seamlessly
with the majority of templates that use "main" as the agent name.

code-server

Automatically install code-server in a workspace, create an app to access it via the dashboard, install extensions, and pre-configure editor settings.

module "code-server" {
  count    = data.coder_workspace.me.start_count
  source   = "registry.coder.com/coder/code-server/coder"
  version  = "1.4.0"
  agent_id = coder_agent.main.id
}

Examples

Pin Versions

module "code-server" {
  count           = data.coder_workspace.me.start_count
  source          = "registry.coder.com/coder/code-server/coder"
  version         = "1.4.0"
  agent_id        = coder_agent.main.id
  install_version = "4.8.3"
}

Pre-install Extensions

Install the Dracula theme from OpenVSX:

module "code-server" {
  count    = data.coder_workspace.me.start_count
  source   = "registry.coder.com/coder/code-server/coder"
  version  = "1.4.0"
  agent_id = coder_agent.main.id
  extensions = [
    "dracula-theme.theme-dracula"
  ]
}

Enter the <author>.<name> into the extensions array and code-server will automatically install on start.

Pre-configure Settings

Configure VS Code's settings.json file:

module "code-server" {
  count      = data.coder_workspace.me.start_count
  source     = "registry.coder.com/coder/code-server/coder"
  version    = "1.4.0"
  agent_id   = coder_agent.main.id
  extensions = ["dracula-theme.theme-dracula"]
  settings = {
    "workbench.colorTheme" = "Dracula"
  }
}

Install multiple extensions

Just run code-server in the background, don't fetch it from GitHub:

module "code-server" {
  count      = data.coder_workspace.me.start_count
  source     = "registry.coder.com/coder/code-server/coder"
  version    = "1.4.0"
  agent_id   = coder_agent.main.id
  extensions = ["dracula-theme.theme-dracula", "ms-azuretools.vscode-docker"]
}

Pass Additional Arguments

You can pass additional command-line arguments to code-server using the additional_args variable. For example, to disable workspace trust:

module "code-server" {
  count           = data.coder_workspace.me.start_count
  source          = "registry.coder.com/coder/code-server/coder"
  version         = "1.4.0"
  agent_id        = coder_agent.main.id
  additional_args = "--disable-workspace-trust"
}

Offline and Use Cached Modes

By default the module looks for code-server at /tmp/code-server but this can be changed with install_prefix.

Run an existing copy of code-server if found, otherwise download from GitHub:

module "code-server" {
  count      = data.coder_workspace.me.start_count
  source     = "registry.coder.com/coder/code-server/coder"
  version    = "1.4.0"
  agent_id   = coder_agent.main.id
  use_cached = true
  extensions = ["dracula-theme.theme-dracula", "ms-azuretools.vscode-docker"]
}

Just run code-server in the background, don't fetch it from GitHub:

module "code-server" {
  count    = data.coder_workspace.me.start_count
  source   = "registry.coder.com/coder/code-server/coder"
  version  = "1.4.0"
  agent_id = coder_agent.main.id
  offline  = true
}
