@f0ssel will work on the RFC for this in Sprint 9 (May 2 - 13th)

Hey team! Please add your planning poker estimate with ZenHub @f0ssel @bpmct

This is added as a switch blocker because without providing docs on this, the experience compared to V1 is subpar where dotfiles are supported.

@f0ssel if wanted, I can help with the RFC on this!

@jsjoeio 100% go for it if you have ideas

What's the status on this? Is it possible to use dotfiles currently? I remember @kylecarbs was going to share something last week but now he's out on PTO.

I've also chatted with @bpmct and @tjcran who are collecting feedback for dotfiles usage.

So I guess I need more context before I can work on this. I'll look in Notion and/or post in Discord.

@f0ssel can probably clarify for you. But what we allow for now is basically what's described here: https://www.notion.so/coderhq/V2-Scoping-SSH-Linked-Accounts-Dotfiles-f4e6e2747aaa4225b4b95f215e315fdb#1c5084b6f5844f7a8fe85db2a0bfc574

Ah, got it. Thanks @tjcran 🙌🏼

Possibly what I'm looking for:

• https://www.terraform.io/language/resources/provisioners/remote-exec
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPKwNPomeJo

Ah, that's not it. @bpmct pointed me in the right direction: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/coder/coder/latest/docs/resources/agent#init_script

In Coder's case, you just pass an init_script to the coder agent resource

@jsjoeio did you write up an rfc or something we can talk through the decisions? I know we had some ideas but didn't land on anything concrete.

@f0ssel no, nothing yet. I figured that the state of this was not a fully supported feature we were implementing and more a "here's how you can get this behavior today" that we didn't need an RFC.

But if you disagree, happy to write one!

@f0ssel and I are collabing on this on Discord. We realized we actually want to do startup_script: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/coder/coder/latest/docs/resources/agent#startup_script

I've put up a proposal for the solution here: #1696

The code for this has been merged in #1723 , we just need #1765 to call this complete!

@bpmct @jsjoeio Could we get something in the docs or examples so we can close this out?

Yeah, apologies, PR is out. Hoping to work better with engineering sprints to avoid delays like this.

Closed as completed by #2046
