Investigate shareable workspaces

[lukehinds]

Investigate a simple shareable workspace configuration, where a user could export a workspace, capturing prompts , provider config and muxing rules. This could be saved as file which someone else could then import.

I could look at this. Provider config is not workspace-scoped, but I'm sure we could make it work

I think this will impact the UI dashboard too. Cause I would expect to have a button in the dashboard and import/export the config ( keep in mind that muxing is actually available only in UI).

We agreed someone else will work on this. I can tag along and help out if needed.

I'll pair up with @alex-mcgovern

Actually picking this up now

#1086 added the basic configuration. It's hooked to the workspace creation REST API endpoint, but currently unused. I can see us parsing a JSON file with that content too as an alternative.

I think a north star for this should be a local JSON "CodeGate config", this would allow:

• hand editing in editor-of-choice
• checking in to version control (either per-repo or a .dotfiles repo)
• sharing/distributing within a team

I'm imagining this could be stored in a number of places, e.g. $HOME/.config/codegate, in the currently open repository, etc. but that decision seems further down the road.

After speaking with Ozz, I think the best small increment to deliver initially is a small change to the REST API to update/read config. Am going to try and think about the API design such that we don't have to rework it many times towards the desired behaviour.

A future step might be to use a Docker bind mounts to enable local JSON config idea, in addition to editing it via the CRUD API.

What I'm imagining a local JSON config could look like in future.
