brakmic/cppdev repository overview

⁠C++ Development Environment in Docker

This repository provides a lightweight Docker image for modern C++ development, using Ubuntu 24.04 as the base and GCC/G++ 14 as the default compiler.

⁠Features

• Ubuntu 24.04 for a recent Linux environment
• GCC/G++ 14 set as default compilers
• Essential build tools: cmake, ninja-build, valgrind, etc.
• Common utilities for networking and debugging (net-tools, iproute2, gdb, strace, etc.)
• Non-root user cppdev with passwordless sudo

⁠Getting Started

⁠Pull the Image

docker pull brakmic/cppdev:latest

⁠Run the Container

docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd):/workspace brakmic/cppdev:latest

• -it starts an interactive session.
• --rm cleans up the container after you exit.
• -v $(pwd):/workspace mounts the current directory into the /workspace folder inside the container, so you can work with your local files.

⁠Usage

Inside the container, you have:

• GCC/G++ 14
• cmake, ninja, and other build tools
• git, nano, and other essential utilities

By default, you’ll be dropped into a bash shell as the cppdev user. Any changes in /workspace will be reflected on your host machine’s current directory due to the volume mount.
