Devcontainers

This repository contains devcontainers that I often use.

There are two Dockerfiles (one with poetry and one with uv).

Each dockerfile contains the following targets.

1. base contains python 3.10/11/12, poetry or uv, pipx
2. just adds just to (1)
3. terraform adds terraform to (2)
4. gcloud adds gcloud to (3)

These images are built once/month and pushed to dockerhub.

Tags are structured as follows:

ubuntu2204-py<POETRY/UV><PYTHON-VERSION>-<YYYMMDD>-<TARGET>

For example:

ubuntu2204-pypoetry312-20240827-gcloud

Sample devcontainer.json

I usually use a variant of the following devcontainer.json file with these docker images:

{
    "build": {
      "dockerfile": "Dockerfile",
      "context": "."
    },
    "containerEnv": {
      "HOME": "/home/vscode"
    },
    "customizations": {
