The Docker daemon is system-wide — named volumes are prefixed by the
compose project name, which defaults to the basename of the directory
holding docker-compose.yml. Two users whose compose file lives under
a directory with the same name (e.g. ~/alice/opencode-devbox and
~/bob/opencode-devbox) would silently share volumes, corrupting each
other's opencode data, bash history, and TUI settings.
Add an explicit top-level 'name: devbox-${SIGNUM}' so the project
name (and therefore all volume prefixes) is unique per user. The old
comment claiming directory-name prefixing was sufficient was wrong —
it only works if directory basenames differ, which isn't guaranteed
on multi-user hosts or when users follow the same setup instructions.
New releases may add named volumes or bind-mount lines to
docker-compose.yml. The image can't update compose files on the VM —
they're user-owned — so a plain 'docker compose pull && up -d' picks
up the new image but silently misses new mount points.
Example from v1.14.19c → v1.14.20: bash history persistence needs
the devbox-shell-history named volume at /home/developer/.cache/bash.
The v1.14.20 image is configured to write history there either way,
but without the volume mount on the VM, writes land in the container's
writable layer and vanish on every --force-recreate.
Add a 'Upgrading an existing VM to a new release' subsection to
deploy/README.md describing the backup → diff → merge → recreate
ritual, so future upgrades don't quietly drop features the same way.
Previous phrasing treated the letter suffix as a plain alphabetical
sequence, which led to confusion about whether the first rebuild
should be 'a' or 'b'. Spell out the intent: the suffix is the build
ordinal, and the letter 'a' is reserved to mean '1st build' — which
always uses the bare tag (no letter). So letters start at 'b' for
the 2nd build, 'c' for the 3rd, and so on.
Examples for opencode version 1.14.20:
1st build: v1.14.20
2nd build: v1.14.20b
3rd build: v1.14.20c
The previous guard used an exported DEVBOX_PS1_SET env var to avoid
double-prefixing on re-source. But env vars survive 'exec bash'
while PS1 does not — a new bash rebuilds PS1 from .bashrc. Result:
the guard saw DEVBOX_PS1_SET=1, skipped the prefix, and the new
shell ran with bare PS1 (no [devbox] marker).
Replace the env-var guard with a substring check on PS1 itself.
If PS1 already contains '[devbox]' we skip, otherwise we prepend.
Correct in all three cases: first shell (PS1 has no marker → add),
exec bash (fresh PS1 has no marker → add), re-source within same
shell (PS1 still has marker → skip, no doubling).
Bump OPENCODE_VERSION ARG from 1.14.19 to 1.14.20 to track the new
upstream release on npm.
Clarify the tagging convention in AGENTS.md: the first build on a new
opencode version uses the bare 'v{opencode_version}' tag (no letter
suffix). Letter suffixes (a, b, c, ...) are reserved for container-
level rebuilds on the same opencode version (CVE fixes, doc changes,
entrypoint bugs). The previous wording implied a letter was always
required, which was never the actual behaviour.
v1.14.19c installed 'history -a; ' at the start of PROMPT_COMMAND
before zoxide's init ran. Zoxide's init uses ';' as its separator
when prepending __zoxide_hook, producing 'history -a;;__zoxide_hook'.
Every interactive prompt then emitted:
bash: PROMPT_COMMAND: syntax error near unexpected token ';;'
History flushing still worked (the 'history -a' half parsed fine),
but the error spam made the shell feel broken.
Fix by moving the history-flush PROMPT_COMMAND assignment AFTER
zoxide's init, and using a newline separator (via ${PROMPT_COMMAND:+...}
parameter expansion) so there's no semicolon involved at all. Each
PROMPT_COMMAND line runs as its own statement, no parsing contention.

Previous behaviour (e4063b5) COPY'd .bash_aliases and .inputrc
directly into /home/developer/ during image build. That silently
shadowed any host bind-mount or in-container customization for users
upgrading from v1.14.19b — if you'd written your own .bash_aliases
and rebuilt the container, our baked version would overwrite it
without warning.
Ship the files to /etc/skel-devbox/ instead. The entrypoint copies
them to $HOME only if the target file does not already exist, so:
- Fresh containers get the defaults automatically (unchanged)
- Host bind-mounts win (they materialize before the entrypoint runs)
- Existing in-container customizations survive upgrades
- Defaults remain discoverable at /etc/skel-devbox/ for anyone who
wants to copy, diff, or reset back to upstream
Docs (README.md, DOCKER_HUB.md, deploy/README.md) describe the new
skel layout and the restore/diff commands.
Two changes that address a longstanding frustration: bash history is
lost on every container recreate, and the container's ~/.bashrc and
~/.inputrc are stock Debian (no history tuning, no prefix search on
arrow keys, no integrations).
Added a named volume 'devbox-shell-history' mounted at ~/.cache/bash
with HISTFILE pointing there; history now survives 'docker compose up
--force-recreate'. The volume is added to both docker-compose.yml and
docker-compose.shared.yml, and ~/.cache/bash is registered in the
entrypoint ownership-fix loop per the AGENTS.md convention.
Baked rootfs/home/developer/.bash_aliases (sourced automatically by
Debian's default ~/.bashrc) and rootfs/home/developer/.inputrc into
the image. They give new containers: 100k-entry timestamped dedup
history with per-prompt flush, Up/Down arrow prefix history search,
case-insensitive coloured completion, aliases that prefer eza and
bat when present, git shortcuts, interactive rm/mv/cp, zoxide and
fzf (via 'fzf --bash') integration, and a [devbox] prompt marker.
The fzf integration uses 'fzf --bash' because we install fzf from
GitHub releases, not apt — the apt-path key-bindings aren't present.
Users who prefer their host's own shell config can uncomment two
commented bind-mount lines in docker-compose.yml to shadow the
baked defaults.
Add a Troubleshooting subsection to deploy/README.md describing the
ISP-CGNAT per-destination flow-table exhaustion that manifests as
'Connection timed out during banner exchange' or pure TCP connect
timeouts after the first 3-4 SSH connects.
The fix is SSH ControlMaster/ControlPersist on the client side, which
multiplexes all SSH sessions over one TCP flow and stays within the
CGNAT cap. sync-to-vm.sh already uses this pattern internally; this
note makes it discoverable for users hitting the issue in interactive
or scripted SSH use outside the deploy/ scripts.
The auto-detection block was gated on UID mismatch alone: if the host
user already had UID 1000 (the container's default) but a non-default
GID, the GID was never adopted. That left host-written files with a
numeric GID the container couldn't resolve to a name (e.g. '1001' on
Debian VMs where useradd assigns a dedicated group starting at 1001).
Split UID and GID detection into independent conditions. Each dimension
is adopted from /workspace if its env var is unset and the workspace
value differs from the container default, regardless of the other
dimension's state. Preserves existing USER_UID / USER_GID overrides.
Replace 'rsync -az' with 'rsync -rlptDz' (archive minus owner/group
preservation). Running as a non-root user on the VM, rsync can't
preserve UID anyway, but it was successfully preserving GID whenever
the numeric GID happened to exist on the target. That caused synced
dirs (~/.aws, ~/.config/opencode, ~/.config/nvim, ~/.agents/skills,
~/.ssh) to end up with group 1001 on the VM, which was confusing
and, for group-writable mode, potentially insecure.
With -o and -g dropped, received files get the receiving user's
UID:GID (devbox:devbox), which is what you want.
When a named volume is mounted at a nested path like
/home/developer/.local/state/opencode, Docker creates the parent
directory (.local/state) as root:root. The existing chown loop only
fixed the leaf mount points, leaving parents unwritable by the
developer user.
Add a non-recursive pre-pass that fixes ownership of the common
parent dirs (.local, .local/share, .local/state, .config) so that
anything creating new subdirs beneath them works correctly after a
fresh container recreate. Regression introduced by commit 967ce7d
(devbox-state volume) and only partially addressed by a06dc5f.
Two related documentation fixes for users mounting ~/.config/opencode
from the host:
1. Gate oh-my-opencode-slim references (file and agents) to the OMOS
variant in the Custom opencode config sections and data persistence
tables. Base-variant users no longer see oh-my-opencode-slim.json
listed as if it were always present.
2. Add a portability note warning that host-absolute paths in
opencode.json (e.g. file:///usr/local/lib/node_modules/... or
file:///opt/homebrew/...) will not resolve inside the Linux
container, and to prefer bare package specifiers that work on
both macOS and Linux hosts.
Update auto-generated opencode.json defaults to model IDs that are
valid as of April 2026:
- anthropic: claude-sonnet-4-5 -> claude-sonnet-4-6
- openai: gpt-4o (retired Apr 3 2026) -> gpt-5.4
- bedrock: anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-5-v1 (invalid) ->
global.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929-v1:0
The Bedrock ID now uses the global inference profile (no regional
10% premium) and includes the required date stamp and :0 suffix.
setup-host.sh now detects OpenStack via metadata endpoint and skips ufw.
New setup-openstack-secgroup.sh creates the required security group with
SSH, mosh, and ICMP rules via the OpenStack CLI.
Recommended base: Debian 13 Trixie (matches opencode-devbox base image).
- cloud-init.yml: automated VM provisioning for Proxmox/OpenStack/cloud providers
- setup-host.sh: interactive post-install script for manually-created VMs
- README.md: documents both paths and VM sizing recommendations
Installs Docker (official repo), Compose v2, ufw firewall, mosh support,
and the IPv4 DNS preference workaround for Docker Hub IPv6 issues.
