dev is a container image full of useful development tools.
- Linux distribution of your choice: Arch Linux, Debian, Fedora, or Ubuntu.
- Programming languages and linters for them:
- C
- Go
- Java
- Python
- Rust
- Shell (Bash and Zsh)
- Cloud tools: AWS, Azure, and Kubernetes support.
- Visual Studio Code web server via code-server.
- Docker and Podman container engine support.
- Distrobox and Toolbox integration.
For each tagged release on GitHub, a GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline tests each container image build. It then pushes them to the Quay.io container registry using the same tag and also a latest tag.
- quay.io/lukeshortcloud/dev-archlinux:latest
- quay.io/lukeshortcloud/dev-debian:latest
- quay.io/lukeshortcloud/dev-fedora:latest
- quay.io/lukeshortcloud/dev-ubuntu:latest
Build (optional):
$ [docker|podman] build --pull --tag lukeshortcloud/dev-[archlinux|debian|fedora]:latest . -f Containerfile.[archlinux|debian|fedora]
- If rebuilding the Arch Linux container, the
--no-cacheargument may be needed to deal with the rolling releases.
Full support is also provided for an Ubuntu build:
$ cp Containerfile.debian Containerfile.ubuntu
$ sed -i s'/^FROM debian:.*/FROM ubuntu:24.04/'g Containerfile.ubuntu
$ [docker|podman] build --pull --tag lukeshortcloud/dev-ubuntu:latest . -f Containerfile.ubuntu
Run as a container:
$ [docker|podman] run -p 127.0.0.1:2003:2003 -v ${HOME}:/home_real -d --name dev-[archlinux|debian|fedora|ubuntu] lukeshortcloud/dev-[archlinux|debian|fedora|ubuntu]:latest code-server --bind-addr 0.0.0.0:2003
Run as a container with Docker Engine support:
$ [docker|podman] run -v ${HOME}:/home_real -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock --network host -d --name dev-[archlinux|debian|fedora|ubuntu] lukeshortcloud/dev-[archlinux|debian|fedora|ubuntu]:latest code-server --bind-addr 0.0.0.0:2003
$ [docker|podman] exec dev-[archlinux|debian|fedora|ubuntu] cat /root/.config/code-server/config.yaml | grep password:
Run as a Toolbox on Fedora Atomic Desktop:
$ toolbox create --image lukeshortcloud/dev-[archlinux|debian|fedora|ubuntu]:latest
$ toolbox enter lukeshortcloud-dev-[archlinux|debian|fedora|ubuntu]-latest
Run as a Distrobox on any Linux distribution:
$ distrobox create --init --image lukeshortcloud/dev-[archlinux|debian|fedora|ubuntu]:latest --name dev-[archlinux|debian|fedora|ubuntu]
$ distrobox enter dev-[archlinux|debian|fedora|ubuntu]
If using Distrobox or Toolbox, optionally inside the container, run the code-server service and then find the password.
$ tmux new-session -d -s code-server 'code-server --bind-addr 0.0.0.0:2003'
$ cat ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml | grep password:
