This project will setup a Vagrant environment with a ready to use Docker environment.
Docker for Mac is horrible. Slow, file permissions management is wrong, docker configuration is likely to break for people using a Linux system. Basically, you don't have the correct Docker experience on a Mac.
Use a real Linux system from within your Mac: welcome (back) Vagrant. The current solution does not used shared folder from Vagrant. But rely on built-in features of IDE:
- vscode: https://code.visualstudio.com/Download with Remote SSH: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh
- IntellIJ based editor: Use the sync options.
brew cask install virtualbox
brew cask install vagrant
vagrant plugin install vagrant-disksize
mkdir -p Documents/devbox
cd Documents/devbox
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ekino/devbox/master/Vagrantfile -o Vagrantfile
vagrant up # This command can take up to 5min.
Copy the output of vagrant ssh-config --host devbox into your ~/.ssh/config file.
You should be able to connect to the box using ssh devbox.
ssh devbox
git config --global user.name "Your Name Here"
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
A dedicated key has been created for you. It will be display after the provisionning. You can access to it using:
cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_devbox
Of course, you are free to re-import any keys inside the box.
Using a dedicate key helps to avoid avoid one key for all usages. You can have a key for pushing code to repositories. And a key (on the host) to connect to servers. So if a dependency is bloated with a malware, your servers' keys are not exposed.
Don't forget to share your public key to services that may required it.
rsync -av ~/projects-folder devbox:~/projects
By default the box does not bind any port to the guest. Please point any request to the VM IP: 172.16.3.2
- Make sure you have vscode installed on your laptop.
- Install the vscode extension: https://aka.ms/vscode-remote/download/extension
- Make sure you can connect to the box using
ssh devbox - Remote-SSH: Connect to Host from the Command Palette and enter
devbox - You can now list projects available on the box.
- By default, VSCode install extensions on the host. Now you have an second option to also install an extension on the box.
- So, you can loop through your installed extensions and click on
Install on SSH...
