Docker Development Environments

This repository contains Dockerfiles for creating consistent development environments for Node.js and Python projects. These development containers provide isolated environments with SSH access, making them ideal for remote development.

Features

• SSH Access: Both environments include OpenSSH server for remote development
• Environment Configuration: Configure Git user and SSH settings via environment variables
• Multiple Development Environments:
  • Node.js development environment
  • Python development environment

Container Images

Base Development Environment

The base development environment:

• Ubuntu 24.04 base
• OpenSSH server for remote access
• Common development tools (git, curl, wget, etc.)

Node.js Development Environment

The Node.js development environment (dockerfile-node) includes:

• Node.js 20.x with npm
• Yarn package manager

Python Development Environment

The Python development environment (dockerfile-python) includes:

• Python 3 with pip and venv
• Python virtual environment at /opt/venv

Startup Configuration

Both environments use the configure-startup.sh script to:

1. Configure SSH access using provided SSH keys
2. Set up Git user configuration
3. Start the SSH server on the specified port

Environment Variables

The containers support the following environment variables:

• AUTHORIZED_KEYS: SSH public key(s) for passwordless authentication - Mandatory
• GIT_USER: Git username to configure globally
• GIT_EMAIL: Git email to configure globally
• SSH_PORT: Port for the SSH server (defaults to 22)

Usage

Docker Run Command

# Run Node.js development environment
docker run -d \
  -p 2222:22 \
  -e AUTHORIZED_KEYS="$(cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub)" \
  -e GIT_USER="Username" \
  -e GIT_EMAIL="[email protected]" \
  -v /opt/node-app:/app \
  miguel1993/docker-dev:node

# Run Python development environment
docker run -d \
  -p 2223:22 \
  -e AUTHORIZED_KEYS="$(cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub)" \
  -e GIT_USER="Username" \
  -e GIT_EMAIL="[email protected]" \
  -v /opt/python-app:/app \
  miguel1993/docker-dev:python

Using Docker Compose

You can also use Docker Compose to run both environments together:

version: '3'

services:
  node-dev:
    container_name: node-dev
    image: miguel1993/docker-dev:node
    network_mode: host
    ports:
      - "2222:22"
    environment:
      - AUTHORIZED_KEYS="$(cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub)"
      - GIT_USER=Your Name
      - [email protected]
      - SSH_PORT=22
    volumes:
      - /opt/node-app:/app

  python-dev:
    container_name: python-dev
    image: miguel1993/docker-dev:python
    network_mode: host
    ports:
      - "2223:22"
    environment:
      - AUTHORIZED_KEYS="$(cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub)"
      - GIT_USER=Your Name
      - [email protected]
      - SSH_PORT=22
    volumes:
      - /opt/python-app:/app

Save this as docker-compose.yml and run with:

docker-compose up -d
