**IMPORTANT NOTE: We're starting to migrate contents of this repo to the [devcontainers org](https://github.com/devcontainers), as part of the work on the [open dev container specification](https://containers.dev).**

**We'll now be publishing the `base:ubuntu` image from [devcontainers/images/src/base-ubuntu](https://github.com/devcontainers/images/tree/main/src/base-ubuntu).**

## Using this definition

While the definition itself works unmodified, you can select the version of Ubuntu the container uses by updating the `VARIANT` arg in the included `devcontainer.json` (and rebuilding if you've already created the container).

```json
"args": { "VARIANT": "ubuntu-18.04" }
```

You can also directly reference pre-built versions of `.devcontainer/base.Dockerfile` by using the `image` property in `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json` or updating the `FROM` statement in your own  `Dockerfile` to one of the following. An example `Dockerfile` is included in this repository.

- `mcr.microsoft.com/vscode/devcontainers/base:ubuntu` (latest LTS release)
- `mcr.microsoft.com/vscode/devcontainers/base:ubuntu-22.04` (or `jammy`)
- `mcr.microsoft.com/vscode/devcontainers/base:ubuntu-20.04` (or `focal`)
- `mcr.microsoft.com/vscode/devcontainers/base:ubuntu-18.04` (or `bionic`)

You can decide how often you want updates by referencing a [semantic version](https://semver.org/) of each image. For example:

- `mcr.microsoft.com/vscode/devcontainers/base:0-focal`
- `mcr.microsoft.com/vscode/devcontainers/base:0.203-focal`
- `mcr.microsoft.com/vscode/devcontainers/base:0.203.0-focal`

See [history](history) for information on the contents of each version and [here for a complete list of available tags](https://mcr.microsoft.com/v2/vscode/devcontainers/base/tags/list).

Alternatively, you can use the contents of the `base.Dockerfile` to fully customize your container's contents or to build it for a container host architecture not supported by the image.

Beyond `git`, this image / `Dockerfile` includes `zsh`, [Oh My Zsh!](https://ohmyz.sh/), a non-root `vscode` user with `sudo` access, and a set of common dependencies for development.

### Adding the definition to a project or codespace

1. If this is your first time using a development container, please see getting started information on [setting up](https://aka.ms/vscode-remote/containers/getting-started) Remote-Containers or [creating a codespace](https://aka.ms/ghcs-open-codespace) using GitHub Codespaces.

2. To use the pre-built image:
   1. Start VS Code and open your project folder or connect to a codespace.
   2. Press <kbd>F1</kbd> select and **Add Development Container Configuration Files...** command for **Remote-Containers** or **Codespaces**.
   4. Select this definition. You may also need to select **Show All Definitions...** for it to appear.

3. To build a custom version of the image instead:
   1. Clone this repository locally.
   2. Start VS Code and open your project folder or connect to a codespace.
   3. Use your local operating system's file explorer to drag-and-drop the locally cloned copy of the `.devcontainer` folder for this definition into the VS Code file explorer for your opened project or codespace.
   4. Update `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json` to reference `"dockerfile": "base.Dockerfile"`.

4. After following step 2 or 3, the contents of the `.devcontainer` folder in your project can be adapted to meet your needs.

5. Finally, press <kbd>F1</kbd> and run **Remote-Containers: Reopen Folder in Container** or **Codespaces: Rebuild Container** to start using the definition.
