• auth-backend-module-coder-provider: Backend authentication module for Coder OAuth2 integration with Backstage's New Backend System.
• backstage-plugin-devcontainers-backend: Backend plugin for integrating VS Code Dev Containers with Backstage catalog items (no Coder deployment necessary).
• backstage-plugin-devcontainers-react: Frontend plugin for detecting and working with Dev Containers repo data, letting you open repos in VS Code with a full Dev Containers setup (no Coder deployment necessary).

Please useGitHub issues to report any issues or feature requests.

To start the app:

yarn installyarn dev

To run an individual plugin:

cd plugins/backstage-plugin-$nameyarn installyarn start

Note that the Coder plugin does not support running like this as it currentlyuses a backend proxy that is not available when running independently of theBackstage app.

To draft a release for a plugin, push a tag using the format<plugin-directory>/v<version> where<plugin-directory> is the exact directory name underplugins/:

git tag -a backstage-plugin-coder/v0.0.0 -m"backstage-plugin-coder v0.0.0"git push origin backstage-plugin-coder/v0.0.0

This will kick off an action that will create a draft release for the plugin.Once you have reviewed the release you can publish it and another action willpublish the plugin to NPM.

Feel free toopen an issue if you have questions, run into bugs, or have a feature request.
