### Pass Additional Arguments

You can pass additional command-line arguments to code-server using the `additional_args` variable. For example, to disable workspace trust:

```tf
module "code-server" {
count = data.coder_workspace.me.start_count
source = "registry.coder.com/coder/code-server/coder"
version = "1.4.0"
agent_id = coder_agent.example.id
additional_args = "--disable-workspace-trust"
}
```

### Offline and Use Cached Modes

By default the module looks for code-server at `/tmp/code-server` but this can be changed with `install_prefix`.
