⁠Ubuntu Code-Server with DevOps Tools

A complete development environment based on Ubuntu 22.04 featuring code-server (VS Code in the browser) with essential DevOps and security scanning tools pre-installed.

⁠🚀 What's Included

• Ubuntu 22.04 LTS - Stable and secure base image
• Code-Server - VS Code running in your browser, accessible from anywhere
• PowerShell Core - Cross-platform PowerShell for automation and scripting
• Vim/Vi Editor - Classic terminal-based text editor
• Pipx - Isolated Python application installer
• Checkov - Infrastructure as Code (IaC) security scanner for Terraform, CloudFormation, and more
• Git - Version control system
• Python 3 - Programming language with pip and venv support

⁠🏃 Quick Start

# Pull and run the container
docker run -d -p 8087:8087 --name my-devenv navdeepkhaira/code-server:tagname

# Access code-server in your browser
# Navigate to: http://localhost:8087

⁠📋 Usage Examples

⁠Basic Development Environment

docker run -d -p 8087:8087 --restart unless-stopped --name devenv navdeepkhaira/code-server:tagname

⁠With Persistent Workspace

docker run -d \
  -p 8087:8087 \
  -v /path/to/your/workspace:/root/workspace \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  --name devenv \
  navdeepkhaira/code-server:tagname

⁠With Custom Configuration

docker run -d \
  -p 8087:8087 \
  -v /path/to/config:/root/.config/code-server \
  -v /path/to/workspace:/root/workspace \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  --name devenv \
  navdeepkhaira/code-server:tagname

⁠🛠 Available Tools

Once your container is running and you access code-server:

• Terminal Access: Open integrated terminal in code-server
• PowerShell: Type pwsh to start PowerShell
• Vim Editor: Use vim filename or vi filename
• Checkov Scanner: Run checkov --help for infrastructure security scanning
• Git Operations: Full git functionality for version control

⁠Security Considerations

Change password for authentication by modifying the config:

bind-addr: 0.0.0.0:8087
auth: password
password: your-secure-password
cert: false

⁠🎯 Use Cases

• Infrastructure as Code Development: Write and scan Terraform, CloudFormation templates
• DevOps Automation: PowerShell and Python scripting for CI/CD pipelines
• Cloud Development: Remote development environment accessible from any device
• Security Scanning: Built-in Checkov for infrastructure security analysis
• Learning Environment: Perfect for DevOps training and experimentation
