dbjdbj/dbj-devenv-gcc13 repository overview

After the image download, start as this:

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -v ./workspace --name c-dev dbjdbj/dbj-devenv-gcc13

That creates and runs a container named "c-dev". Goto localhost:8080. That will be your vs code for C GCC-13 developments inside this container.

But where is your source? Straight answer: keep it on github.

⁠How was this image created

⁠C development

basically mandates GCC or CLANG compilers. And C23 is the much preferred latest version. Not very Visual Studio, Windows-friendly situation. And recommended source of knowledge is https://gustedt.wordpress.com/.

This is mostly for Windows machines and developers. You use this container to develop code inside it. Nothing is required on a host WIN machine but Docker Desktop. http://localhost:8080 is how you reach VS Code inside it.

There is ssl_example non-trivial project inside to help you start.

⁠How was this built

WIN cmd script. Not mandatory but comfortable.

docker build -t c-devenv .
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -v ./workspace --name c-dev c-devenv
echo.
echo Now you can open the workspace folder in Visual Studio Code
echo http://localhost:8080
echo.

Dockerfile, is what makes it possible. This is not making a minimal masterpiece docker file. Its purpose is to show you what is preferable when using containers for development.
