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

Installation: Automatically downloads and installs Parsec on workspace startup
Configuration: Sets up Parsec with optimal settings for remote access
Integration: Exposes Parsec as a Coder app for easy access
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
