Autostart

Coder automatically turns off idle workspaces to help manage resource expenditure. Typically, this means workspaces turn off overnight and remain offline until a rebuild is requested. With Autostart, you can request automated rebuilds at a time that suits your workflow. You can expect your workspaces to be ready for you at the start of each workday.

Criteria for autostart

Your workspace must be:

• Active (Active workspaces are those that have been opened in the last four days)
• Off (Autostart doesn't work when workspaces are on to prevent the triggering of a rebuild while you're working)

Coder may trigger Autostart up to 5 minutes before your scheduled time to ensure all queued workspaces are ready on time.

Enabling autostart

1. Click on your avatar in the top-right and select Account in the drop-down menu.

2. Select the Autostart tab and set your desired Autostart time.

   

3. Select the workspaces for which you want to enable Autostart and save.

   

Enabling Autostart for new workspaces

When creating a new workspace, you may enable Autostart by checking the box labeled Automatically turn this workspace on at (HH:MM) (where HH:MM is your configured time).
