Using this image

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

  • mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/rust:latest (or bookworm, bullseye to pin to an OS version)
  • mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/rust:1 (or 1-bookworm, 1-bullseye 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/rust:1-1 (or 1-1-bookworm, 1-1-bullseye to pin to an OS version)
  • mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/rust:1.0-1 (or 1.0-1-bookworm, 1.0-1-bullseye to pin to an OS version)
  • mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/rust:1.0.0-1 (or 1.0.0-1-bookworm, 1.0.0-1-bullseye to pin to an OS version)

However, we only do security patching on the latest non-breaking, in support versions of images (e.g. 1-1). 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.

See history for information on the contents of each version and here for a complete list of available tags.

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

Support

The dev container spec images are maintained in the devcontainers/images repo. You can explore each image and open issues or feature requests.
