Extra Dev Container Features

Important

This fork was created because the original devcontainers-contrib creator deleted the account. This repo was generously created and hosted by @NathanCYee in the dev container community to avoid any accidental or malicious rehosting of these Features, and devcontainers-extra was also generously created and continues to be hosted by the community to continue publishing these Features as well.

As maintainers of the official Dev Containers Spec became aware of this issue, additional steps have now been taken:

• Update the dev container CLI to automatically redirect from devcontainers-contrib to devcontainers-extra
• Show a warning in VS Code and GitHub Codespaces about the state of devcontainers-contrib and redirection to devcontainers-extra (to ensure users are aware and devcontainers-extra gets proper credit)

If you experience any additional issues, please notify the Dev Containers Spec maintainers via an issue in the dev container CLI repo.

About This Fork

This repository is a continuation of the devcontainers-contrib/features project, initially developed by danielbraun89. The fork was created to maintain and enhance the project due to inactivity in the original repository.

Note

This project is not officially associated with or endorsed by the official Devcontainers project

Usage

Just add a .devcontainer/devcontainer.json file with a features key. It's very similar to package.json's dependencies object, just with the addition of an options object.

📚 Make sure to inspect each feature for feature-specific options!

{
  "image": "mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/base:bookworm",
  "features": {
    "ghcr.io/devcontainers-extra/features/deno": {},
    "ghcr.io/devcontainers-extra/features/neovim": {}
  }
}

Then, after adding your devcontainer config file, you can open it in GitHub Codespaces, or [open it locally using VS Code]. Be warned some features will compile things from source code and may take a while!
