+There a few ways to add `code-server` to a workspace. You can install it in the Dockerfile and subsequent container image or VM image, or install it dynamically as part of coder_agent resource in a template.
 
-Coder offers a [sample template that includes
-code-server](../examples/templates/docker-code-server/README.md).
+You start `code-server` in the `coder_agent` resource of a template, and add a `coder_app` resource to define the icon and url for code-server to appear in the workspace web UI.

+Here is an example of installing `code-server` in a Dockerfile
 
-  ```console
-  coder server --dev

+```console

+Here is an example of installing `code-server` in the `coder_agent` resource of a template's `main.tf` and defining the `coder_app` resource. If you install `code-server` in the image, you can eliminate the install step below.

+```console

+  os   = "linux"
+  arch = "amd64"
+  startup_script = <<EOT
+#!/bin/bash

+# start code-server
