Quickstart

Requirements

• Docker
• Visual Studio Code or devcontainer-cli

To connect to the container from vscode

Dev Containers: Open Folder in Container

Whenever you do a change to Dockerfile or .devcontainer

Dev Containers: Rebuild Container

How to use devcontainers outside vscode

The CLI requires Node.js 14.17.0 or later. TIP: Use nvm install node --reinstall-packages-from=$(nvm current)

npm install -g @devcontainers/cli

devcontainer up --workspace-folder . --remove-existing-container
devcontainer exec --workspace-folder . pwsh

If you have made changes to the devcontainer setttings, then run the following:

devcontainer up --workspace-folder . --remove-existing-container

If you have made changes to the Dockerfile, then run the following:

devcontainer up --workspace-folder . --remove-existing-container --build-no-cache

You can also use your personal dotfiles repository. Here I use my own personal dotfiles repository.

devcontainer up --workspace-folder . --remove-existing-container --dotfiles-repository https://github.com/oysteinje/dotfiles.git
