# Feature-Rich Docker Workspaces
Provision powerful Docker containers as [Coder workspaces](https://coder.com/docs/workspaces) with this template. It features selectable GPU passthrough, Docker-out-of-Docker (DooD), and pre-installs essential development tools via a custom Dockerfile.
## Prerequisites
### Infrastructure
The host you run Coder on must have a running Docker socket, the NVIDIA container runtime installed, and the `coder` user added to the Docker group:
```sh
sudo adduser coder docker
sudo systemctl restart coder
sudo -u coder docker ps
```
## Features & Architecture
This template provisions the following resources and features:
- **Base Image**: Custom image built from `codercom/enterprise-base:ubuntu`.
- **Selectable GPU Support**: A `GPU Assignment` parameter chooses which GPU(s) to attach. The default is **GPU 0**, because GPU 1 is shared with the `ollama` and `immich` stacks; pick `GPU 1 only` or `Both GPUs` when you need them.
- **Docker-out-of-Docker (DooD)**: Mounts the host's `/var/run/docker.sock` so you can build and run containers from inside your workspace.
- **Ollama Integration**: `OLLAMA_HOST` is preset to `http://host.docker.internal:11434`, so tools in the workspace talk to the homelab Ollama service out of the box.
- **Pre-baked Tools**: The custom Docker image comes pre-installed with:
- System package updates
- Docker CLI
- Bun
- Go (pinned version, installed from the official tarball)
- SDKMAN! & Maven
- Opencode
- `jq`, `build-essential`
- **Persistent Storage**: Uses a persistent host directory mapped to `/home/coder` so files survive workspace restarts.
- **Rich Telemetry**: Displays CPU, RAM, Disk, Load Average, and GPU utilization directly in the Coder UI.
- **IDE Support**: Native integration with code-server (Browser VS Code) and JetBrains IDEs.
## Using the homelab services
### Ollama
`OLLAMA_HOST` is already exported in the workspace. Verify with:
```sh
curl "$OLLAMA_HOST/api/tags"
```
### Gitea container registry
With DooD enabled you can build and push images straight to the Gitea registry from inside a workspace:
```sh
docker login git.sirblob.co -u <user> -p <token>
docker build -t git.sirblob.co/<user>/<image>:<tag> .
docker push git.sirblob.co/<user>/<image>:<tag>
```
See `projects.md` in the homelab repo for the full registry workflow.
> **Note**
> While your `/home/coder` directory is persistent, the container's root filesystem is ephemeral. This template builds a custom Docker image to pre-bake tools (Go, Bun, SDKMAN!, Opencode, etc.), ensuring your workspace starts instantly while keeping the tools available.
