When & how do you run the coder login command through the Helm chart? I don't see any container lifecycle hooks exposed and i don't believe it's possible via an initContainer. Or are you deploying an external resource to do this after Coder has been deployed?

@mh013370 ah yes sorry we don't use Coder's Helm chart. We've got too many "special" requirements and prefer to have full control over this. One of them being PostStart lifecycle hook that manages the first user creation.

This makes sense. Perhaps i'll raise a PR to add lifecycle config to the helm chart, since we don't want to maintain our own. I think this is the only way to do it without adding an external resource.

Did you have any issues using postStart anyone should be aware of given the following condition?

There is no guarantee, however, that the postStart handler is called before the Container's entrypoint is called.

It's be a while where we've had to rely on this to set up a new coder server instance but I don't recall any. The initial headaches was figuring out which environment variables did it and then the project changing to first-login- later. For all I know it may fall over for the next coder server we set up 😄. Things are changing pretty fast with this project.

@mh013370 Should we mark this as completed?

Yes i'll close this. Pod lifecycle hooks are sufficient to satisfy the original need. Thanks!
