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.
Reduces locale generation from 200+ to 16 targeted locales (major world
languages + Nordic + key European). Saves build time and image size.
Users can add more at runtime via locale-gen.
Install rustup-init binary from Rust CDN. Users bootstrap Rust with
'rustup-init -y' — persists via devbox-rustup and devbox-cargo volumes.
Add JavaScript/TypeScript development docs (Node.js + npm in base, Bun in OMOS).
Install uv from GitHub releases (~23MB). Users can install Python with
'uv python install 3.12' — persists across restarts via devbox-uv volume.
Eliminates need for a separate Python image variant.
Replace vim-tiny with neovim from GitHub releases (pinned, multi-arch).
Add bat, eza, zoxide from GitHub releases and tmux, htop, patch from apt.
Move tmux from OMOS-only to base image. Set EDITOR=nvim.
Add neovim config mount option to docker-compose and docs.
Integrate oh-my-opencode-slim as an opt-in feature via INSTALL_OMOS build arg.
A single build arg installs Bun, tmux, and the plugin; runtime activation is
controlled by ENABLE_OMOS and related env vars in the entrypoint.
