Provision Rocky Linux containers as Coder workspaces with this template.

The VM you run Coder on must have a running Docker socket and the coder user must be added to the Docker group:

# Add coder user to Docker group
sudo adduser coder docker

# Restart Coder server
sudo systemctl restart coder

# Test Docker
sudo -u coder docker ps

This template provisions the following resources:

• Docker image (built by Docker socket and kept locally)
• Docker container pod (ephemeral)
• Docker volume (persistent on /home/coder)

This means, when the workspace restarts, any tools or files outside of the home directory are not persisted. To pre-bake tools into the workspace, modify the container image. Alternatively, individual developers can personalize their workspaces with dotfiles.

Note This template is designed to be a starting point! Edit the Terraform to extend the template to support your use case.

This workspace includes:

• Neovim v0.12.1 - Modern Vim editor with Lazy.nvim plugin manager
• Go 1.26.2 - Go programming language
• Rust - With USTC crates.io and rustup mirrors configured
• Node.js (fnm) - Fast Node Manager for Node.js version management
• Claude Code - Anthropic's official CLI tool for Claude, globally installed
• Fish shell - Default shell with fish configuration
• Common utilities - ripgrep, fd-find, tmux, screen, htop, fastfetch, make

Edit the Dockerfile and run coder templates push to update workspaces.

This template supports HTTP/HTTPS proxy configuration during Docker image build. Set the following Terraform variables when needed:

• http_proxy
• https_proxy
• no_proxy

docker build --progress=plain -t coder-rocky-dev .

docker build --force --progress=plain -t coder-rocky-dev .

docker run -it --rm \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  coder-rocky-dev:latest
