Development Container Templates

devcontainers organization logo Development Container Templates
A simple set of dev container 'templates' to help get you up and running with a containerized environment.

A development container is a running Docker container with a well-defined tool/runtime stack and its prerequisites. It allows you to use a container as a full-featured development environment which can be used to run an application, to separate tools, libraries, or runtimes needed for working with a codebase, and to aid in continuous integration and testing.

This repository contains a set of Dev Container Templates which are source files packaged together that encode configuration for a complete development environment. A Template can be used in a new or existing project, and a supporting tool will use the configuration from the template to build a development container.

Contents

  • src - A collection of subfolders, each declaring a template. Each subfolder contains at least a devcontainer-template.json and a devcontainer.json.
  • test - Mirroring src, a folder-per-template with at least a test.sh script. These tests are executed by the CI.

Contributions

Creating your own collection of templates

The Dev Container Template specification outlines a pattern for community members and organizations to self-author Templates in repositories they control.

A starter repository devcontainers/template-starter and GitHub Action are available to help bootstrap self-authored Templates.

We are eager to hear your feedback on self-authoring! Please provide comments and feedback on spec issue #71.
