Dev Containers

Extend your Coder templates with containerized dev container development environments.

Dev containers extend your template with containerized development environments, allowing developers to work in consistent, reproducible setups defined by devcontainer.json files.

Coder's Dev Containers Integration uses the standard @devcontainers/cli and Docker to run containers inside workspaces.

For setup instructions, see Dev Containers Integration.

For an alternative approach that doesn't require Docker, see Envbuilder.
