You can directly reference pre-built versions of 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/devcontainers/javascript-node (latest)mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/javascript-node:26 (or 26-trixie, 26-bookworm to pin to an OS version)mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/javascript-node:24 (or 24-trixie, 24-bookworm to pin to an OS version)mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/javascript-node:22 (or 22-trixie, 22-bookworm to pin to an OS version)Refer to this guide for more details.
You can decide how often you want updates by referencing a semantic version of each image. For example:
mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/javascript-node:5-24 (or 5-24-trixie, 5-24-bookworm)mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/javascript-node:5.2-24 (or 5.2-24-trixie, 5.2-24-bookworm)mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/javascript-node:5.2.0-24 (or 5.2.0-24-trixie, 5.2.0-24-bookworm)However, we only do security patching on the latest non-breaking, in support versions of images (e.g. 5-24). You may want to run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade in your Dockerfile if you lock to a more specific version to at least pick up OS security updates.
Beyond Node.js and git, this image / Dockerfile includes eslint, zsh, Oh My Zsh!, a non-root node user with sudo access, and a set of common dependencies for development. Node Version Manager (nvm) is also included in case you need to use a different version of Node.js than the one included in the image.
The dev container spec images are maintained in the devcontainers/images repo. You can explore each image and open issues or feature requests.
