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/go
(latest)mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/go:1
(or1-bookworm
,1-bullseye
to pin to an OS version)mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/go:1.22
(or1.22-bookworm
,1.22-bullseye
to pin to an OS version)mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/go:1.21
(or1.21-bookworm
,1.21-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/go:1-1.22
(or1-1.22-bookworm
,1-1.22-bullseye
)mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/go:1.1-1.22
(or1.1-1.22-bookworm
,1.1-1.22-bullseye
)mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/go:1.1.9-1.22
(or1.1.9-1.22-bookworm
,1.1.9-1.22-bullseye
)
However, we only do security patching on the latest non-breaking, in support versions of images (e.g. 1-1.22
). 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.
Given JavaScript front-end web client code written for use in conjunction with a Go back-end often requires the use of Node.js-based utilities to build, you can use a Node feature to install any version of Node by adding the following to devcontainer.json
:
{
"features": {
"ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/node:1": {
"version": "latest"
}
}
}
