The Problem I'm FacingSo I've been working with Coder and DigitalOcean templates, and honestly, it's getting pretty frustrating having to SSH into the server every single time I need to set up environment variables like Here's what I have to do right now:
It's really tedious, especially when you're managing multiple deployments or need to quickly update a token. What I'm Asking ForIt would be amazing if we could have a web terminal built right into the Coder UI - but just for admins, of course. Think about it - we could just:
Real ExampleLike, right now when I'm setting up DigitalOcean workspaces, I have to: ssh admin@coder-serverexport DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN="your-token" But what if I could just do this directly in Coder's web UI? Would save so much time. Why This MattersLook, I know I'm not the only one dealing with this. Anyone using cloud providers (DO, AWS, GCP, whatever) has to constantly update tokens and secrets. And some of us work in places where getting SSH access is a whole process. Plus, when you're managing multiple Coder instances, having to SSH into each one just to update a token... it adds up. Not everyone has easy SSH access all the time - sometimes you're on a different machine, behind a firewall, or just don't have your keys handy. Would really appreciate if this could be considered. Thanks! |
