Summary

Provision VMware vSphere virtual machines as Coder workspaces using this Terraform template.

Prerequisites

To deploy Coder workspaces on VMware vSphere, you'll need the following:

vSphere Resources

Before deploying, ensure your vSphere environment has:

A vSphere Datacenter already created
A Compute Cluster within that datacenter
A Datastore with sufficient storage capacity
A Network (port group) accessible by VMs
A VM Template with Ubuntu and cloud-init configured

VM Template Requirements

Your VM template must have

cloud-init installed and configured for VMware datasource

vSphere Authentication

You'll need the following credentials:

vSphere Server (hostname or IP)
Username
Password
Datacenter Name
Cluster Name
Datastore Name
Network Name
VM Template Name

VMware Provider Documentation

Example `.tfvars` File

vsphere_server     = "vcenter.example.com"
vsphere_username   = "administrator@vsphere.local"
vsphere_password   = "YourSecurePassword123!"
vsphere_datacenter = "DC01"
cluster_name       = "Cluster01"
vsphere_datastore  = "datastore1"
vsphere_network    = "VM Network"
vm_template        = "ubuntu-22.04-cloud-init-template"

Architecture

This template creates:

A vSphere Virtual Machine per workspace
Dynamic resource allocation (CPU, memory configurable by users)
Two disks: root disk (from template) and separate home volume
Coder agent installed via cloud-init
code-server for browser-based VS Code access

Workspace Parameters

Users can customize their workspace with:

VCPUs: 1, 2, 4, or 8 virtual CPUs
Memory: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32 GB RAM
Home Volume Size: 10-1024 GB (default: 20 GB)
