rust-dev-environment-docker

Docker file with rust developemnt environment preinstalled (alpine, rust, neovim)

install terminal

Download "JetBrainsMono Nerd Font" and install it.

I am using MS PowerShell 7, which run in Windows Terminal (https://github.com/microsoft/terminal). Windows Terminal supports mouse actions (that's cool).

Best presentation (icons shown without cutoff) is with "JetBrainsMono NFP" font family. I prefer "Light" variant.

copy neovim text (visible) into windows clipboard

The easiest way is to use following combinations: press <Shift> + select text to copy, then press <Enter>. You may select text with cursor.

run container in docker

docker build --no-cache -t "extde/rust-dev-environment" .
docker create -t --name rust-alpine extde/rust-dev-environment
docker start rust-alpine
docker exec -it rust-alpine ash

Then start nvim to finish configuration

nvim
