This is my set of container images for use with VS Code dev containers (aka remote containers), Codespaces and other uses such as runners for nektos/act
All images are built on base images from the Microsoft "official" set of dev container definitions: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-dev-containers
Two versions of each image are available, one which runs as a non-root user (tagged as :latest) and one which runs as root (tagged :root).
When working with VS Code dev containers the non-root version should be used, to prevent file ownership and permission issues.
| Runtime | Version | Non Root | Root |
|---|---|---|---|
| Node.js | 14.x | ghcr.io/benc-uk/devcontainers/node:latest | ghcr.io/benc-uk/devcontainers/node:root |
| Go | 1.16.x | ghcr.io/benc-uk/devcontainers/go:latest | ghcr.io/benc-uk/devcontainers/go:root |
| Python | 3.9 | ghcr.io/benc-uk/devcontainers/python:latest | ghcr.io/benc-uk/devcontainers/python:root |
| Dotnet | 5.0 | ghcr.io/benc-uk/devcontainers/dotnet:latest | ghcr.io/benc-uk/devcontainers/dotnet:root |
| Java | 11 | ghcr.io/benc-uk/devcontainers/java:latest | ghcr.io/benc-uk/devcontainers/java:root |
The base images (from mcr.microsoft.com/vscode/devcontainers) are all Debian based, with common packages already installed such as: jq, make, curl, wget, yarn, zsh, openssl, net-tools, git
On top of this, several extra tools and packages are installed via the install.sh script in this repo
This script clones the https://github.com/benc-uk/tools-install repo which is a set of Debian/Ubuntu install scripts for common tools, SDKs etc, and runs the install scripts from that repo
- Node.js
- Docker client
- Helm
- kubectl, kubectx & kubens
- Terraform
- Bicep
- GitHub CLI
- Azure CLI
Use the root images only when using as a runner for act, e.g.
act push --platform ubuntu-latest=ghcr.io/benc-uk/devcontainers/go:root
