How do I change the user in a workspace from coder to ${data.coder_workspace.me.owner}

How do I change the user and hostname in a workspace. By default it looks something like this coder@coder-simon-bash-5667c49959-nhb2r I would like it to be like this simon@coder-soxprox

If I can't change the hostname, I would settle for changing just the username.

I have tried to add a new user in the template startup script. Although the user is created, I can't seem to change to it.

sudo adduser --disabled-password --gecos "" ${data.coder_workspace.me.owner}
sudo su ${data.coder_workspace.me.owner}

Just FYI, I transferred your discussion from coder/code-server to coder/coder.

This might help:

coder/dogfood/main.tf

Lines 275 to 276 in ba955f4

	# Hostname makes the shell more user friendly: coder@my-workspace:~$
	hostname = data.coder_workspace.me.name

Not sure about the user, though. Maybe check out this template as an example:
