 # Coder Templates
 
+Templates for [Coder](https://coder.com), built with Nix (Terranix).
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> !1 changed how the docker image is built.
+> If `nix store gc` results in `/nix/var/nix/profiles/default` being deleted
+> you might have to clear the /nix persistent volume to fix it. See the
+> merge request's comments for more information.

+## Templates

+- Nix Kubernetes
+  > provisions a Coder workspace on Kubernetes, running a Nix-built image,
+  > which also contains Nix and supports Dotfiles management using home-manager.
+  > Nix-ception ;P
