Docker project for development environment

This Docker project allows you to create a development environment with NeoVim. You can easily launch the environment with Docker Compose and link your local working directory with the container's working directory.

Requirements

• Docker
• Docker Compose

Installation

1. Clone the project on your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/BFlorian91/docker-dev-environment

2. Navigate to the directory:

cd docker-dev-environment

3. IMPORTANT: Do not forget to update the path of the volume bind in the docker-compose.yml file to match your local working directory path.

Usage

Start the development environment with the following command:

docker-compose up -d --build

Enter the container's shell using the following command:

docker-compose exec neovim fish

You can now use NeoVim to work on your local files by accessing the mounted working directory in the container: cd /workdir
To stop the development environment, use the following command: docker-compose down

Customization

You can customize the development environment by modifying the Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml files. You can also add Fish shell aliases in the .config/fish/config.fish file.

Remarks

• Changes made to the files in the container's working directory will be automatically synchronized with the local working directory thanks to the volume binding.
• Changes made to the Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml files will only take effect after restarting the development environment with the command docker-compose up -d --build.
• The project was built with Alpine.js.
• Do not hesitate to consult the Docker documentation for more information on using Docker and Docker Compose.
