Setup Dev Container for VSCode
Prerequisites
-
Docker
-
VSCode with Remote Development Extension Pack
Setup
-
cd <project> -
mkdir .devcontainer -
touch .devcontainer/devcontainer.json -
touch .devcontainer/Dockerfile
devcontainer.json
Example:
1{
2 "name": "Dev Container",
3 "image": "tdc-manager-dev-img",
4 "extensions": [],
5 "workspaceFolder": "/workspace", // This enable VSCode to find the folder to open as a workspace
6 "settings": {
7 "terminal.integrated.shell.linux": "/bin/bash"
8 },
9 "workspaceMount": "source=${localWorkspaceFolder},target=/workspace,type=bind,consistency=cached",
10 "runArgs": [
11 "--net=host",
12 "--privileged",
13 "-e",
14 "VEHICLE_NAME=my-vehicle",
15 "-e",
16 "__RUNTIME_ENV=production",
17 "-v",
18 "${localWorkspaceFolder}/manager_root:/root/tdc_manager",
19 "-v",
20 "${localWorkspaceFolder}/config_root:/etc/app_persist",
21 "-v",
22 "/etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro",
23 "-v",
24 "/etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro",
25 "-v",
26 "/run/docker.sock:/run/docker.sock",
27 "-v",
28 "/home/tusen/.docker/config.json:/root/.docker/config.json",
29 "-v",
30 "${localWorkspaceFolder}/manager_root/.mongodb:/var/lib/mongodb"
31 ]
32}
-
runArgsis not required, but it is useful to pass environment variables and mount volumes. -
We mounted docker.sock to be able to run docker commands inside the container.
Dockerfile
Example:
1FROM ***.com/docker-base/x86_64/os/ubuntu:20.04-tspkg-base
2#
3ENV NODEJS_VERSION=10.15.0
4# install mongodb
5RUN apt-get update && \
6 apt-get install mongodb -y && \
7 curl -L https://nodejs.org/dist/v${NODEJS_VERSION}/node-v${NODEJS_VERSION}-linux-x64.tar.gz | \
8 tar -C /usr/local --strip-components=1 -xzf - && \
9 rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
10
11# create dir for dev container
12RUN mkdir -p /workspace
-
Dockerfile can be arbitrary.
-
We installed mongodb and nodejs in this example.
