Devbox images

Docker images for development and testing environments, automatically built and updated following upstream releases, ready to use in CI/CD pipelines, dev containers, and docker run local commands.

Registries

Images are published to both:

• GitHub Container Registry: ghcr.io/matiboux/*
• Docker Hub: matiboux/*

For example, devbox-python is available as ghcr.io/matiboux/devbox-python and matiboux/devbox-python.

Available images

All images ship with common dev tools.

Examples of available images:

• devbox-python: Python 3.x only
  • 3.x - Base image
  • 3.x-slim - Base slim image
  • 3.x-alpine - Base Alpine image
  • 3.x-poetry - Base image, with Poetry package manager
  • 3.x-uv - Base image, with uv package manager

• devbox-python-docker: Python 3.x with Docker CLI tools
  • Same tags as devbox-python above

• devbox-python-node: Python 3.x with Node x
  • 3.x-x - Base image
  • 3.x-x-poetry - Base image, with Poetry package manager
  • 3.x-x-uv - Base image, with uv package manager
  • 3.x-x-yarn - Base image, with Yarn package manager
  • 3.x-x-pnpm - Base image, with pnpm package manager
  • 3.x-x-poetry-yarn - Base image, with Poetry and Yarn package managers
  • 3.x-x-poetry-pnpm - Base image, with Poetry and pnpm package managers
  • 3.x-x-uv-yarn - Base image, with uv and Yarn package managers
  • 3.x-x-uv-pnpm - Base image, with uv and pnpm package managers

  • Same tags as devbox-python-node above

• devbox-node: Node x only
  • x - Base image
  • x-slim - Base slim image
  • x-alpine - Base Alpine image
  • x-yarn - Base image, with Yarn package manager

How to use images with Docker CLI tools

To use the Docker CLI tools from a Devbox image, you can mount the host's Docker socket into the container and run commands as a non-root user. For example:

docker run --rm -it \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  ghcr.io/matiboux/devbox-python-docker:3.14-docker-uv \
  docker ps

The container must run with the CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE capability (granted by default by Docker) to access the host-mounted Docker socket from a non-root user.

In a devcontainer.json, the equivalent is:

{
  "image": "ghcr.io/matiboux/devbox-python-docker:3.14-docker-uv",
  "remoteUser": "user",
  "mounts": [
    "source=/var/run/docker.sock,target=/var/run/docker.sock,type=bind"
  ]
}
