This plugin aims to give you the functionality of VSCode's remote container development plugin. It will allow you to spawn and develop in docker containers and pulls config information from a devcontainer.json file.

• buildImage: Builds container from the Dockerfile specified in the devcontainer.json file

Available Vim Commands

Extras

Set your statusline to reflect the current connected container through g:currentContainer:

hi Container guifg=#BADA55 guibg=Black
set statusline+=%#Container#%{g:currentContainer}

Usage

If you are currently in a directory that has a devcontainer.json file, you can run the following vim commands:

" If you haven't built the image specified in you config:
:BuildImage
" Attach to the container you just built / a previously built container
:AttachToContainer
