docs: document local install.sh script #16125
Conversation
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I'm trying to find a way to clarify the way both the script and binaries are available, and I'm not sure I've done that, so I suggested some edits, and fully expect that they should be edited further.
Additionally, should we more-strongly recommend that the script be included in templates?

I'm not sure. Probably not immediately. I think it'd be a good idea to dogfood it for a while and then maybe then if it proves to be a good idea we can more strongly recommend it to users. It's also lacking a good Windows equivalent, and idk how much of an issue that'll be for customers. |
Many of our users use Windows or macOS devices. So this will be an issue. iwr https://coder.example.com/install.ps1 | iexAlso, let's include these as part of CLI suggestions when we detect a version mismatch instead of documenting this in docs. E.g., version mismatch: client v2.17.0+5a6d23a, server v2.18.2-devel+3a81aac31
- download the server version with: 'curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh -s -- --version 2.18.2-devel'
+ Download the server version with: 'curl -L https://dev.coder.com/install.sh | sh'And best if we can automagically do that, version mismatch: client v2.17.0+5a6d23a, server v2.18.2-devel+3a81aac31
- download the server version with: 'curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh -s -- --version 2.18.2-devel'
+ Download the matching version from the server (y/n): yNote These are suggestions and not hard requirements, so take them with a grain of salt. |

providing a windows equivalent and changing the cli are waaaay out of scope for this PR. I'm relatively comfortable writing bash scripts, but powershell is a whole different beast. |
To be merged once #16064 lands
This neat little addition feels worth documenting!
