The example gcp-linux template executes the coder agent in a startup script as root.

This results, among other things, in the developer being root in their workspace when they SSH in, which is not a great experience.

We should:

  • Run as a normal user
  • Start the agent via systemd to set up standard environment, use journal for logging, etc
