Parsec Cloud Gaming Integration for Coder Workspaces

Bounty Claim

/claim #205

Description

This PR implements Parsec cloud gaming integration for Coder workspaces, supporting both Windows and Linux environments. Parsec provides high-performance remote desktop and cloud gaming capabilities, making it perfect for GPU-intensive development and gaming workloads in Coder workspaces.

Features

  • Cross-platform support (Windows & Linux)
  • Automatic Parsec installation via PowerShell (Windows) and Bash (Linux)
  • Coder app integration for easy access through the workspace dashboard
  • Configurable parameters (port, order, grouping, subdomain)
  • Comprehensive documentation with usage examples and requirements
  • Automated tests for resource validation
  • Custom Parsec icon for better UI integration

Files Added

  • registry/coder/modules/parsec/main.tf - Main Terraform module with cross-platform support
  • registry/coder/modules/parsec/scripts/install-parsec.ps1 - Windows installation script
  • registry/coder/modules/parsec/scripts/install-parsec.sh - Linux installation script
  • registry/coder/modules/parsec/README.md - Comprehensive documentation
  • registry/coder/modules/parsec/main.test.ts - Automated tests for both platforms
  • registry/.icons/parsec.svg - Custom module icon

Usage Example

module "parsec" {
  count    = data.coder_workspace.me.start_count
  source   = "registry.coder.com/coder/parsec/coder"
  version  = "1.0.0"
  agent_id = coder_agent.main.id
  os       = "windows" # or "linux"
  port     = 8000
  subdomain = true
}

Requirements

  • Windows: Windows 10+ with GPU support
  • Linux: Desktop environment and GPU support recommended
  • Network: Outbound internet access for Parsec download
  • Account: Parsec account for authentication (free tier available)

How it Works

  1. Installation: Automatically downloads and installs Parsec on workspace startup
  2. Configuration: Sets up Parsec with optimal settings for remote access
  3. Integration: Exposes Parsec as a Coder app for easy access
  4. Cross-platform: Supports both Windows and Linux with appropriate scripts

Testing

  • ✅ Terraform validation passes
  • ✅ Module syntax is correct
  • ✅ Cross-platform script compatibility
  • ✅ Documentation is complete and follows registry standards
  • ✅ Automated tests validate resource creation

Benefits for Coder Users

  • High-performance remote desktop for GPU-intensive workloads
  • Cloud gaming capabilities in development environments
  • Cross-platform compatibility for diverse workspace needs
  • Easy integration through Coder's module system
  • Free tier available for personal use

Notes

  • Parsec is free for personal use (see Parsec Terms)
  • GPU passthrough and drivers must be configured separately in the workspace template
  • First launch requires Parsec account login
  • For best performance, use workspaces with dedicated GPU support
