How to use theiaide/theia image?

Theia is actively being developed. It is recommended to use theiaide/theia:latest if you want the latest stable release of Theia or theiaide/theia:next if you want the most recent version of Theia at the time the image was built (bleeding edge).

The following pulls the image and runs Theia IDE on http://localhost:3000 with the current directory as a workspace. The option of --init is added to fix the defunct process problem.

# Linux, macOS, or PowerShell
docker run -it --init -p 3000:3000 -v "$(pwd):/home/project:cached" theiaide/theia:next

# Windows (cmd.exe)
docker run -it --init -p 3000:3000 -v "%cd%:/home/project:cached" theiaide/theia:next

You can pass additional arguments to Theia after the image name, for example to enable debugging:

# Linux, macOS, or PowerShell
docker run -it --init -p 3000:3000 --expose 9229 -p 9229:9229 -v "$(pwd):/home/project:cached" theiaide/theia:next --inspect=0.0.0.0:9229

# Windows (cmd.exe)
docker run -it --init -p 3000:3000 --expose 9229 -p 9229:9229 -v "%cd%:/home/project:cached" theiaide/theia:next --inspect=0.0.0.0:9229

Electron Apps

The repository contains example Electron applications which are packaged using electron-builder. Following the steps provided in their respective README, it is possible to build and package the applications for Desktop use.

VS Code Extensions

Many applications in the repository now include support for running VS Code extensions, and an integration to the public instance of open-vsx registry, an open alternative to the Visual Studio Marketplace. The Extensions view can be opened through the Views top-level menu when starting the application.

Tips & Tricks

  • Build Options:

    • --init injects an instance of tini in the container, that will wait-for and reap terminated processes, to avoid leaking PIDs.
    • --security-opt seccomp=unconfined enables running without the default seccomp profile for debugging.
