A full-featured Fedora container image designed for development.

Container images:

• Quay.io
  • quay.io/thenets/dev-container:latest

• Coder Workspace
• VS Code container (WIP)

• Most build tools. Maybe suitable for pipelines too.
• Container-in-container supported scenarios:
  • Rootless Podman in Rootless Podman
  • Rootful Podman in Rootful Docker, with --privileged flag
  • Rootful Docker in Rootful Docker, with --privileged flag
  • Rootful Docker in Rootful Docker, with socket sharing

Just run the container as usual.

# Example: Run htop
podman run -it --rm quay.io/thenets/dev-container:latest htop

# Start a Docker container in privileged mode
docker run -it --rm --privileged quay.io/thenets/dev-container:latest

# (inside the container)
# Run a podman container
podman run -it --rm docker.io/alpine echo 'hello'

# Start a Docker container, mapping it's daemon socket
docker run -ti --rm -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:rw quay.io/thenets/dev-container:latest

# (inside the container)
# Run a docker container
docker run -it --rm docker.io/alpine echo 'hello'
