Some clients (Netflix in this specific case) rely on mainly their own dashboard tools instead of the Coder one. Two main reasons that were mentioned by Netflix: - aggregate many dev tools in a unified internal console - specific platform/security needs that their own UI handles better For this reason they would like the actions open up the Coder Dashboard (only Create workspace for now) to be fully customizable, and allow clients to override the URL. For `Create workspace` we now have a config that defaults $lastDeploymentUrl/templates, but it can be replaced with a relative URL to $lastDeploymentUrl or a complete new URL. For now the decision is to not allow configuration from UI since Netflix is the only target for this change, and they deploy at scale a templated settings.json.
There is no need to support relative paths as the existing customer will have a custom dashboard that is hosted on a different hostname than the Coder deployment. The part related to relative URL paths is now removed in order to simplify the code.
For `Open in dashboard` we now have a config that can be replaced with a complete new URL to another custom hostname and path. This new setting supports `$workspaceOwner` and `$workspaceName` as placeholders.
