devtainer

My personal development docker container base image

---

Getting Started

sudo apt update && apt upgrade
sudo apt install python3-pip
pip install pipx
~/.local/bin/pipx ensurepath

Motivation

This container comes pre-built with all of my favorite command line tools that I use most often. I was getting sick of how much system resources vscode hogs up by the end of the day when I get many different projects open all at once. Nothing against VSCode, it's a great product, it just takes a lot of resources. Editors like VScode are great for editing full projects, but often I just want to quickly browse through a project with all of my favorite tools handy. Even though this container is a bit bulky its startup performance has been superior to VSCode and even neovim inside of wsl.

Startup Alias

If your on windows like me it is handy to convert wsl paths to windows paths. If you are not on windows simply use $pwd isntead of $wwd.

# windows working directory
wwd(){pwd | sed 's|/mnt/c|C:|g' | sed "s|/|\\\|g"}

Startup with setup shared from parent machine.

devtainer () {
 docker run -it --rm \
 -v "$(wwd)":/src \
 -v $HOME/.aws:/root/.aws \
 -v $HOME/.zsh_history:/root/.zsh_history \
 -v $HOME/.git-credentials:/root/.git-credentials \
 -v $HOME/.gitconfig:/root/.gitconfig \
 -v $HOME/.ipython:/root/.ipython \
 waylonwalker/devtainer 
 $@
}

Open directly into vim with fzf.vim open.

vim () {
 docker run -it --rm \
 -v "$(wwd)":/src \
 -v $HOME/.aws:/root/.aws \
 -v $HOME/.zsh_history:/root/.zsh_history \
 -v $HOME/.git-credentials:/root/.git-credentials \
 -v $HOME/.gitconfig:/root/.gitconfig \
 -v $HOME/.ipython:/root/.ipython \
 waylonwalker/devtainer 
 vim +GFiles
}

Open with a specific tmux layout.

tmux () {
 docker run -it --rm \
 -v "$(wwd)":/src \
 -v $HOME/.aws:/root/.aws \
 -v $HOME/.zsh_history:/root/.zsh_history \
 -v $HOME/.git-credentials:/root/.git-credentials \
 -v $HOME/.gitconfig:/root/.gitconfig \
 -v $HOME/.ipython:/root/.ipython \
 waylonwalker/devtainer 
 bash -c "tmux new-session -t 'editor' -d;\
    tmux send-keys 'echo hello' Enter;\
    tmux split-window -v 'zsh';
    tmux send-keys nvim Space /src/ Space +GFiles C-m; \
    tmux rotate-window; \
    tmux select-pane -U; \
    tmux -2 attach-session -d
    "
}
