Dev Containers Integration | Coder Docs

Note

The Coder dev containers integration is an early access feature.

While functional for testing and feedback, it may change significantly before general availability.

The dev containers integration is an early access feature that enables seamless creation and management of dev containers in Coder workspaces. This feature leverages the @devcontainers/cli and Docker to provide a streamlined development experience.

This implementation is different from the existing Envbuilder-based dev containers offering.

Prerequisites

Coder version 2.22.0 or later
Coder CLI version 2.22.0 or later
A template with:
- Dev containers integration enabled
- A Docker-compatible workspace image
Appropriate permissions to execute Docker commands inside your workspace

How It Works

The dev containers integration utilizes the devcontainer command from @devcontainers/cli to manage dev containers within your Coder workspace. This command provides comprehensive functionality for creating, starting, and managing dev containers.

Dev environments are configured through a standard devcontainer.json file, which allows for extensive customization of your development setup.

When a workspace with the dev containers integration starts:

The workspace initializes the Docker environment.
The integration detects repositories with a .devcontainer directory or a devcontainer.json file.
The integration builds and starts the dev container based on the configuration.
Your workspace automatically detects the running dev container.

Features Available Now

Automatic dev container detection from repositories
Seamless dev container startup during workspace initialization
Integrated IDE experience in dev containers with VS Code
Direct service access in dev containers
Limited SSH access to dev containers

Coming Soon

Dev container change detection
On-demand dev container recreation
Support for automatic port forwarding inside the container
Full native SSH support to dev containers

Limitations during Early Access

During the early access phase, the dev containers integration has the following limitations:

Changes to the devcontainer.json file require manual container recreation
Automatic port forwarding only works for ports specified in appPort
SSH access requires using the --container flag
Some devcontainer features may not work as expected

These limitations will be addressed in future updates as the feature matures.
