# opencode-devbox — Docker Hub

Portable AI developer environment for [opencode](https://opencode.ai). Debian-based, with git, SSH, Node.js, AWS CLI v2, and common dev tools pre-installed.

## Quick Start

```bash
docker run -it --rm \
  -e ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-key \
  -e OPENCODE_PROVIDER=anthropic \
  -e GIT_USER_NAME="Your Name" \
  -e GIT_USER_EMAIL="you@example.com" \
  -v ~/projects:/workspace \
  -v ~/.ssh:/home/developer/.ssh:ro \
  joakimp/opencode-devbox:latest
```

This drops you straight into opencode with your project mounted at `/workspace`.

## Interactive Shell

To get a shell first (useful for AWS SSO login or running other commands):

```bash
docker run -it --rm \
  -e ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-key \
  -e OPENCODE_PROVIDER=anthropic \
  -v ~/projects:/workspace \
  -v ~/.ssh:/home/developer/.ssh:ro \
  joakimp/opencode-devbox:latest bash
```

Then run `opencode` when ready.

## Running Multiple Shells

Once opencode is running it takes over the terminal. To have a separate shell for `aws`, `git`, or other commands, run the container in the background and attach multiple times:

```bash
# Start in background
docker run -d --name devbox \
  -e ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-key \
  -e OPENCODE_PROVIDER=anthropic \
  -v ~/projects:/workspace \
  -v ~/.ssh:/home/developer/.ssh:ro \
  joakimp/opencode-devbox:latest sleep infinity

# Shell 1: run opencode
docker exec -it -u developer devbox opencode

# Shell 2 (separate terminal): aws, git, etc.
docker exec -it -u developer devbox bash

# When done
docker rm -f devbox
```

> **Note:** Always use `-u developer` with `docker exec` — the container starts as root for UID adjustment, then drops to `developer`. Without `-u developer`, exec runs as root.

## Environment Variables

All configuration is done via environment variables, typically stored in a `.env` file.

### Provider Configuration

| Variable | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| `OPENCODE_PROVIDER` | LLM provider (`anthropic`, `openai`, `amazon-bedrock`) | `anthropic` |
| `OPENCODE_MODEL` | Model override | Provider default |

### API Keys

Set the key matching your provider:

| Variable | Provider |
|---|---|
| `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` | Anthropic |
| `OPENAI_API_KEY` | OpenAI |
| `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` + `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` | AWS Bedrock (static creds) |

### AWS Bedrock

| Variable | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| `AWS_REGION` | AWS region | `us-east-1` |
| `AWS_PROFILE` | AWS SSO profile name | `default` |

### Git

| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| `GIT_USER_NAME` | Git commit author name |
| `GIT_USER_EMAIL` | Git commit author email |

### User ID Mapping

The container runs as user `developer` (UID 1000 by default). If your host user has a different UID, file permission mismatches can occur on mounted volumes.

The entrypoint automatically detects the owner of `/workspace` and adjusts the container user's UID/GID to match. You can also set it explicitly:

| Variable | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| `USER_UID` | Container user UID | Auto-detect from `/workspace` owner |
| `USER_GID` | Container user GID | Auto-detect from `/workspace` owner |

## Initial Setup

### 1. Create a project directory

```bash
mkdir -p ~/projects
```

### 2. Create a `.env` file

Create a `.env` file with your configuration. Examples for each provider:

**Anthropic:**
```bash
OPENCODE_PROVIDER=anthropic
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
GIT_USER_NAME=Your Name
GIT_USER_EMAIL=you@example.com
```

**OpenAI:**
```bash
OPENCODE_PROVIDER=openai
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
GIT_USER_NAME=Your Name
GIT_USER_EMAIL=you@example.com
```

**AWS Bedrock (SSO):**
```bash
OPENCODE_PROVIDER=amazon-bedrock
OPENCODE_MODEL=amazon-bedrock/anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-5-v1
AWS_REGION=eu-west-1
AWS_PROFILE=your-profile-name
GIT_USER_NAME=Your Name
GIT_USER_EMAIL=you@example.com
```

### 3. AWS SSO setup (Bedrock users only)

AWS SSO requires a `~/.aws/config` file on the host with your SSO session configuration. If you already have this on another machine, copy it:

```bash
scp -r user@other-machine:~/.aws ~/.aws
```

Or configure from scratch:

```bash
aws configure sso
```

You'll be prompted for:
- SSO session name
- SSO start URL
- SSO region
- Registration scopes (typically `sso:account:access`)

The `~/.aws` directory must be mounted into the container (see docker-compose example below).

## Data Storage and Persistence

Understanding what survives container restarts and what doesn't:

| Path in container | Source | Survives restart? | Contains |
|---|---|---|---|
| `/workspace` | Host bind mount | ✅ Yes — lives on host | Your project files |
| `/home/developer/.ssh` | Host bind mount (ro) | ✅ Yes — lives on host | SSH keys |
| `/home/developer/.aws` | Host bind mount | ✅ Yes — lives on host | AWS credentials/SSO cache |
| `/home/developer/.local/share/opencode` | Named volume (if configured) | ✅ Yes — Docker volume | Session history, memory, auth tokens |
| `/home/developer/.config/opencode/opencode.json` | Generated by entrypoint | ❌ No — regenerated each start | Provider config, MCP server definitions |

### Key points

- **Project files** (`/workspace`) are always safe — they're your host filesystem.
- **opencode config** is auto-generated from `OPENCODE_PROVIDER` env var on each start. It only sets provider and model — no MCP servers. To persist MCP server config, mount your own config file (see Custom opencode Config below).
- **opencode data** (session history, memory) is lost with `--rm` unless you add a named volume.
- **AWS SSO tokens** persist across restarts when `~/.aws` is mounted (recommended for Bedrock users).

## Custom opencode Config

For full control (MCP servers, custom models, keybindings), mount your own config:

```bash
docker run -it --rm \
  -v ./my-opencode.json:/home/developer/.config/opencode/opencode.json:ro \
  ... \
  joakimp/opencode-devbox:latest
```

When a config file is mounted, the `OPENCODE_PROVIDER` auto-config is skipped.

## Using docker-compose

Create a directory with a `docker-compose.yml` and a `.env` file:

```bash
mkdir opencode-devbox && cd opencode-devbox
```

`.env` — your settings (never commit this):

```bash
OPENCODE_PROVIDER=amazon-bedrock
OPENCODE_MODEL=amazon-bedrock/anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-5-v1
AWS_REGION=eu-west-1
AWS_PROFILE=your-profile-name
GIT_USER_NAME=Your Name
GIT_USER_EMAIL=you@example.com
```

`docker-compose.yml`:

```yaml
services:
  devbox:
    image: joakimp/opencode-devbox:latest
    stdin_open: true
    tty: true
    env_file:
      - .env
    environment:
      - TERM=xterm-256color
    volumes:
      - ~/projects:/workspace
      - ~/.ssh:/home/developer/.ssh:ro
      - devbox-data:/home/developer/.local/share/opencode
      # Mount AWS config for Bedrock SSO (required for amazon-bedrock provider)
      # - ~/.aws:/home/developer/.aws
      # Optional: mount your own opencode config (MCP servers, custom models, etc.)
      # - ./opencode.json:/home/developer/.config/opencode/opencode.json:ro
      # Optional: mount opencode skills from host
      # - ~/.config/opencode/skills:/home/developer/.config/opencode/skills:ro
      # - ~/.agents/skills:/home/developer/.agents/skills:ro

volumes:
  devbox-data:
```

Docker Compose loads `.env` automatically from the same directory. All variables from `.env` are passed to the container via `env_file`. Do **not** hardcode provider settings in the `environment:` section — use `.env` instead.

Then:

```bash
# Start in background
docker compose up -d

# Open a shell (always use -u developer with exec)
docker compose exec -u developer devbox bash

# For Bedrock: authenticate, then start opencode
aws sso login --sso-session <your-session> --use-device-code
opencode

# Or run opencode directly (if no SSO needed)
docker compose exec -u developer devbox opencode

# One-shot mode (creates and removes container)
docker compose run --rm devbox        # direct to opencode
docker compose run --rm devbox bash   # interactive shell
```
