Windows packages (winget, choco, etc)

[bpmct]

We publish packages for Linux systems, but not Windows! Would be great for users to install Coder with winget install coder

[phorcys420]

other nice-to-haves would be Chocolatey and Scoop

also winget upgrade coder my favourite

[matifali]

maybe a GitHub action that will push to the winget repo on every release.

I'm not entirely sure when we will get around to doing this, but we welcome contributions.

I'm happy to help by creating official accounts for marketplaces, review, etc.

Opening up an open-source bounty (payable via GitHub Sponsors) worth circa 200USD to the person who contributes the pattern to automatically publish our windows binaries to choco and winget.

This issue is becoming stale. In order to keep the tracker readable and actionable, I'm going close to this issue in 7 days if there isn't more activity.

[matifali]

choco and scoop are still pending if we want them

[bpmct]

Going to close because we have WInget! I'd be open to us supporting these other package managers if somebody would like to submit a PR :)

[phorcys420]

Chocolatey support in #8921

[phorcys420]

I will try to PR Scoop support later on whenever I get the time (or motivation).
