[question] How to add other files in build context? e.g. .npmrc

[jizusun]

I tried to push with coder template push but .npmrc was skipped.
Also I failed to create the file in the UI, and the error message.

This extension is not allowed. You only can create files with the following extensions: tf, md, Dockerfile.

We were able to make it work by not using the built-in editor but instead creating it locally and pushing the template to the instance with Coder. I believe this example demonstrates the process well (https://github.com/matifali/coder-templates/tree/main/deeplearning-nvidia). In the "images" folder, we have, for instance, a requirements.txt file that we use in the Dockerfile.

Hi @mforell I don't see a requirements.txt in your referenced link

Do you mean another link?

Hi, sorry for the confusion.
I just made a sample project for you:
https://github.com/mforell/coder-template-example

You'll just have to copy the files you need in the Dockerfile.

In the tensorflow.Dockerfile line 42 the requirements.txt is copied and line 60 e.g. a main.py
