devcontainer

Dotfyle License status-badge

Goal of this plugin is to provide functionality similar to VSCode's remote container development plugin and other functionality that enables development in docker container. This plugin is inspired by jamestthompson3/nvim-remote-containers, but aims to enable having neovim embedded in docker container.

NOTE: If you do not have an account registered and do not want to register one, you can use mailing lists to report bugs, discuss the project and send patches:

Requirements

  • NeoVim version 0.9.0+ (previous versions may be supported, but are not tested - commands and autocommands will definitely fail)
  • nvim-treesitter with included jsonc parser (or manually installed jsonc parser)

Installation

Install using favourite plugin manager.

e.g. Using lazy.nvim

{
  'https://codeberg.org/esensar/nvim-dev-container',
  dependencies = 'nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter'
}

or assuming nvim-treesitter is already available:

{ 'https://codeberg.org/esensar/nvim-dev-container' }

Usage

To use the plugin with defaults just call the setup function:

require("devcontainer").setup{}

It is possible to override some of the functionality of the plugin with options passed into setup. Everything passed to setup is optional. Following block represents default values:

require("devcontainer").setup {
  config_search_start = function()
    -- By default this function uses vim.loop.cwd()
    -- This is used to find a starting point for .devcontainer.json file search
    -- Since by default, it is searched for recursively
    -- That behavior can also be disabled
  end,
  workspace_folder_provider = function()
    -- By default this function uses first workspace folder for integrated lsp if available and vim.loop.cwd() as a fallback
    -- This is used to replace `${localWorkspaceFolder}` in devcontainer.json
    -- Also used for creating default .devcontainer.json file
  end,
  terminal_handler = function(command)
    -- By default this function creates a terminal in a new tab using :terminal command
    -- It also removes statusline when that tab is active, to prevent double statusline
    -- It can be overridden to provide custom terminal handling
  end,
  nvim_installation_commands_provider = function(path_binaries, version_string)
    -- Returns table - list of commands to run when adding neovim to container
    -- Each command can either be a string or a table (list of command parts)
    -- Takes binaries available in path on current container and version_string passed to the command or current version of neovim
  end,
  devcontainer_json_template = function()
    -- Returns table - list of lines to set when creating new devcontainer.json files
    -- As a template
    -- Used only when using functions from commands module or created commands
  end,
  -- Can be set to false to prevent generating default commands
  -- Default commands are listed below
  generate_commands = true,
  -- By default no autocommands are generated
  -- This option can be used to configure automatic starting and cleaning of containers
  autocommands = {
    -- can be set to true to automatically start containers when devcontainer.json is available
    init = false,
    -- can be set to true to automatically remove any started containers and any built images when exiting vim
    clean = false,
    -- can be set to true to automatically restart containers when devcontainer.json file is updated
    update = false,
  },
  -- can be changed to increase or decrease logging from library
  log_level = "info",
  -- can be set to true to disable recursive search
  -- in that case only .devcontainer.json and .devcontainer/devcontainer.json files will be checked relative
  -- to the directory provided by config_search_start
  disable_recursive_config_search = false,
  -- can be set to false to disable image caching when adding neovim
  -- by default it is set to true to make attaching to containers faster after first time
  cache_images = true,
  -- By default all mounts are added (config, data and state)
  -- This can be changed to disable mounts or change their options
  -- This can be useful to mount local configuration
  -- And any other mounts when attaching to containers with this plugin
  attach_mounts = {
    neovim_config = {
      -- enables mounting local config to /root/.config/nvim in container
      enabled = false,
      -- makes mount readonly in container
      options = { "readonly" }
    },
    neovim_data = {
      -- enables mounting local data to /root/.local/share/nvim in container
      enabled = false,
      -- no options by default
      options = {}
    },
    -- Only useful if using neovim 0.8.0+
    neovim_state = {
      -- enables mounting local state to /root/.local/state/nvim in container
      enabled = false,
      -- no options by default
      options = {}
    },
  },
  -- This takes a list of mounts (strings) that should always be added to every run container
  -- This is passed directly as --mount option to docker command
  -- Or multiple --mount options if there are multiple values
  always_mount = {},
  -- This takes a string (usually either "podman" or "docker") representing container runtime - "devcontainer-cli" is also partially supported
  -- That is the command that will be invoked for container operations
  -- If it is nil, plugin will use whatever is available (trying "podman" first)
  container_runtime = nil,
  -- Similar to container runtime, but will be used if main runtime does not support an action - useful for "devcontainer-cli"
  backup_runtime = nil,
  -- This takes a string (usually either "podman-compose" or "docker-compose") representing compose command - "devcontainer-cli" is also partially supported
  -- That is the command that will be invoked for compose operations
  -- If it is nil, plugin will use whatever is available (trying "podman-compose" first)
  compose_command = nil,
  -- Similar to compose command, but will be used if main command does not support an action - useful for "devcontainer-cli"
  backup_compose_command = nil,
}

Commands

If not disabled by using generate_commands = false in setup, this plugin provides the following commands:

  • DevcontainerStart - start whatever is defined in devcontainer.json
  • DevcontainerAttach - attach to whatever is defined in devcontainer.json
  • DevcontainerExec - execute a single command on container defined in devcontainer.json
  • DevcontainerStop - stop whatever was started based on devcontainer.json
  • DevcontainerStopAll - stop everything started with this plugin (in current session)
  • DevcontainerRemoveAll - remove everything started with this plugin (in current session)
  • DevcontainerLogs - open plugin log file
  • DevcontainerEditNearestConfig - opens nearest devcontainer.json file if it exists, or creates a new one if it does not
