### Custom opencode config
For full control over opencode settings (MCP servers, custom models, and on the OMOS variantoh-my-opencode-slim agents), mount the entire config directory from the host:
Opencode configuration is persisted automatically via the named volume `devbox-opencode-config`. This volume is mounted at `/home/developer/.config/opencode` by default — no host directory setup required. All changes to `opencode.jsonc`, skills, and (on the OMOS variant) `oh-my-opencode-slim.json` survive container recreation.
When an existing `opencode.jsonc` is found in the volume, the `OPENCODE_PROVIDER` auto-config is skipped.
**Alternative: host bind-mount** — if you specifically want to share config from the host (e.g. to version-control it or sync across machines), replace the named volume with a bind mount:
```yaml
volumes:
- ~/.config/opencode:/home/developer/.config/opencode
```
This persists all configuration changes across container restarts, including `opencode.json`, skills, and (on the OMOS variant) `oh-my-opencode-slim.json`. When an existing `opencode.json` is found, the `OPENCODE_PROVIDER` auto-config is skipped.
> **Portability note:** The mounted config runs inside a Linux container. Any absolute paths inside `opencode.json` (for example, host-specific `plugin` entries like `file:///usr/local/lib/node_modules/...` or `file:///opt/homebrew/...`) will not resolve inside the container. Prefer bare package specifiers (e.g. `"oh-my-opencode-slim"`) that resolve via `node_modules` lookup, which works on both macOS and Linux hosts.

### Custom skills
Mount agent skills from the host:
Skills are deployed automatically from a skillset repo on container start. The entrypoint detects the skillset location in this order:
```yaml
volumes:
- ~/.agents/skills:/home/developer/.agents/skills:ro
```
1. `SKILLSET_CONTAINER_PATH` env var (explicit path to skillset repo inside container)
2. `~/skillset` mount (if present)
3. `/workspace/skillset` fallback (if your workspace contains a `skillset/` directory)
When a skillset repo is detected, its skills are symlinked into `~/.agents/skills/` automatically. No manual configuration needed.
> **Warning:** Do not bind-mount a host `~/.agents/skills` directory directly into the container. This conflicts with the symlink-based auto-deploy mechanism and causes broken skill references.

## Shell defaults
The image ships a baked `.bash_aliases` and `.inputrc` with quality-of-life defaults. On first container start they are copied from `/etc/skel-devbox/` into `/home/developer/` **only if the target file does not already exist** — so host bind-mounts and any version you've customized inside the container are never overwritten on upgrade.
Defaults you get out of the box:
- **Prefix history search** on Up/Down arrows (type `git `, press Up, walk back through prior `git ...` commands only). Ctrl-Up / Ctrl-Down still step through full history.
- **Persistent history** — `$HISTFILE` points at `~/.cache/bash/history`, backed by the `devbox-shell-history` named volume so history survives container recreation. Timestamps, 100 000 entries, dedup.
- **Case-insensitive tab completion**, coloured completion lists, `show-all-if-ambiguous`.
- **Aliases** — `ls`/`ll`/`la` use `eza`, `cat` uses `bat`, `gs`/`gd`/`gl` for git, safe `rm`/`mv`/`cp`.
- **Integrations** — `zoxide` (`z <fragment>` to jump), `fzf` Ctrl-R / Ctrl-T key bindings.
- **Prompt marker** — `[devbox]` prefix so it's always obvious you're inside the container.
### Overriding the defaults
**Option A — bind-mount host files.** Uncomment the bind-mount lines in `docker-compose.yml`:
```yaml
- ~/.bash_aliases:/home/developer/.bash_aliases:ro
- ~/.inputrc:/home/developer/.inputrc:ro
```
> **Single-file bind-mount caveat (all platforms):** Docker bind-mounts the file's **inode**, not its path. When editors like vim, nvim, VS Code, or `sed -i` save a file, they write to a temp file and `rename()` it over the original — creating a new inode. The container stays pinned to the old (now unlinked) inode and never sees the update. This is a kernel limitation ([Docker #15793](https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/15793)), not fixable by Docker. Append-only writes (`echo "alias foo=bar" >> file`) are safe because they modify the same inode. **Workaround:** mount the parent directory instead of the single file (e.g. `~/.config/devbox-shell:/home/developer/.config/devbox-shell:ro`) and source files from there.
**Option B — customize inside the container.** Just edit `~/.bash_aliases` or `~/.inputrc` as normal. Pair this with a bind-mount or named volume on the home dir if you want the edits to survive container recreation.
### Restoring or diffing defaults
The skel files remain available inside every container at `/etc/skel-devbox/`. Useful commands:
```bash
# See what the image currently ships
cat /etc/skel-devbox/.bash_aliases
# Diff your current config against the upstream defaults
diff ~/.bash_aliases /etc/skel-devbox/.bash_aliases
# Reset to the baked defaults
cp /etc/skel-devbox/.bash_aliases ~/.bash_aliases
# …or delete the file and recreate the container — the entrypoint
# copies from /etc/skel-devbox/ on next start if the target is absent
rm ~/.bash_aliases
```
