# opencode-devbox

Portable AI developer environment in a Docker container. Run [opencode](https://opencode.ai) on any Docker-capable machine with configurable LLM providers, dev tools, and host filesystem access.

## Why?

The official `ghcr.io/anomalyco/opencode` image (now archived) was Alpine-based and minimal — no git, no dev tools, broken PTY support due to musl/glibc incompatibility. This project provides a **Debian-based, production-ready** alternative using the current v1.x release.

## Quick Start

```bash
# Clone
git clone ssh://gitea.jordbo.se:2222/joakimp/opencode-devbox.git
cd opencode-devbox

# Configure
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your provider, API key, workspace path, git config

# Install git hooks (secret scanning)
brew install gitleaks  # macOS / Linuxbrew
./setup-hooks.sh

# Build and run
docker compose run --rm devbox
```

## Features

- **Debian trixie** base — glibc, full PTY/terminal support
- **Configurable providers** — Anthropic, OpenAI, AWS Bedrock via env vars
- **Host filesystem access** — bind mount any directory as `/workspace`
- **SSH key forwarding** — git push/pull to private repos
- **MCP server support** — Node.js included for `npx`-based MCP servers
- **Non-root user** — runs as `developer` with UID auto-matched to workspace owner (sudo available)
- **Python via uv** — `uv` package manager included; install Python on demand with `uv python install`
- **Rust via rustup** — `rustup-init` included; bootstrap Rust on demand with `rustup-init -y`
- **Optional runtimes** — Python (apt), Go via build args (Node.js always included — required for opencode v1.x)
- **Multi-agent orchestration** — optional [oh-my-opencode-slim](https://github.com/alvinunreal/oh-my-opencode-slim) integration via build arg
- **AWS CLI v2** — built-in SSO/Bedrock authentication with headless device-code flow
- **Multi-arch** — amd64 and arm64

## Usage

### Prerequisites

Bind-mounted directories must exist on the host before starting the container. Docker creates missing directories as root-owned, which causes permission issues.

```bash
# Required: workspace for your projects
mkdir -p ~/projects
```

### Connecting to the container

From your laptop, SSH into the remote server where Docker is running, then start the container:

```bash
# 1. SSH into the remote server
ssh user@remote-server

# 2. Navigate to the project
cd opencode-devbox

# 3. Start the container with an interactive shell
docker compose run --rm devbox bash

# You're now inside the container — run commands here
aws sso login --sso-session <your-sso-session> --use-device-code
opencode
```

### Running modes

**Interactive shell** — enter the container, run multiple commands:
```bash
docker compose run --rm devbox bash
```

**Direct to opencode** — skips the shell, launches opencode immediately:
```bash
docker compose run --rm devbox
```

**Background container** — keep it running, attach when needed:
```bash
# Start in background
docker compose up -d

# Attach a shell to the running container
docker compose exec -u developer devbox bash

# Or run a single command inside it
docker compose exec -u developer devbox aws --version
```

> `run` creates a new container (cleaned up with `--rm`). `exec` attaches to an already running one.

## Configuration

### Environment Variables

| Variable | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| `OPENCODE_PROVIDER` | LLM provider (`anthropic`, `openai`, `amazon-bedrock`) | `anthropic` |
| `OPENCODE_MODEL` | Model override | Provider default |
| `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` | Anthropic API key | — |
| `OPENAI_API_KEY` | OpenAI API key | — |
| `AWS_REGION` | AWS region for Bedrock | `us-east-1` |
| `AWS_PROFILE` | AWS SSO profile name | `default` |
| `GIT_USER_NAME` | Git commit author name | — |
| `GIT_USER_EMAIL` | Git commit author email | — |
| `WORKSPACE_PATH` | Host path to mount | `.` |
| `SSH_KEY_PATH` | Host SSH key directory | `~/.ssh` |
| `USER_UID` | Override container user UID | Auto-detect from `/workspace` |
| `USER_GID` | Override container user GID | Auto-detect from `/workspace` |
| `LANG` | System locale | `en_US.UTF-8` |
| `LANGUAGE` | Language priority list | `en_US:en` |
| `LC_ALL` | Override all locale settings | `en_US.UTF-8` |
| `EDITOR` | Default text editor | `nvim` |
| `ENABLE_OMOS` | Enable oh-my-opencode-slim multi-agent orchestration | `false` |
| `OMOS_TMUX` | Enable tmux pane integration for OMOS | `false` |
| `OMOS_SKILLS` | Install OMOS recommended skills on first run | `true` |
| `OMOS_RESET` | Force regenerate OMOS config on next start | `false` |
| `SKILLSET_CONTAINER_PATH` | Path to skillset repo inside container (for auto-deploy when not at /workspace/skillset) | Auto-detect |

### Custom opencode config

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
```

> **Portability note:** The mounted config runs inside a Linux container. Any absolute paths inside `opencode.jsonc` (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

Skills are deployed automatically from a skillset repo on container start. The entrypoint detects the skillset location in this order:

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.

### Neovim configuration

The image includes neovim 0.12 with `EDITOR=nvim` set by default. To use your own neovim config (and have plugins auto-install via lazy.nvim on first start), mount it from the host:

```yaml
volumes:
  - ~/.config/nvim:/home/developer/.config/nvim:ro
```

### Python development with uv

The image includes Python 3.13 (from Debian Trixie) and [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/), a fast Python package manager that replaces pip, venv, and pyenv:

```bash
# Python 3.13 is available out of the box
python3 --version

# Use uv for package management
uv venv
uv pip install -r requirements.txt

# Or use uv's project workflow (reads pyproject.toml)
uv sync

# Run a Python script
uv run python script.py

# Install standalone Python tools
uvx ruff check .

# Install a newer Python version (persists with devbox-uv volume)
uv python install 3.14
```

Python installations are stored in `~/.local/share/uv/`. To persist them across container restarts, add the `devbox-uv` named volume to your `docker-compose.yml`:

```yaml
volumes:
  - devbox-uv:/home/developer/.local/share/uv

volumes:
  devbox-uv:
```

Project virtual environments (`.venv`) are stored in your workspace directory and persist automatically via the `/workspace` bind mount.

### Rust development with rustup

The image includes `rustup-init`, the Rust toolchain installer. Rust is not pre-installed but can be bootstrapped on demand:

```bash
# One-time setup: install Rust toolchain (~300MB, persists with volumes)
rustup-init -y
source ~/.cargo/env

# Now use Rust normally
cargo new my-project
cargo build
cargo run
```

To persist Rust toolchains and cargo data across container restarts, add named volumes to your `docker-compose.yml`:

```yaml
volumes:
  - devbox-rustup:/home/developer/.rustup
  - devbox-cargo:/home/developer/.cargo

volumes:
  devbox-rustup:
  devbox-cargo:
```

### JavaScript and TypeScript

The base image includes **Node.js 22** and **npm** — sufficient for most JavaScript and TypeScript development:

```bash
# Initialize a new project
npm init -y

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Run TypeScript (via tsx, ts-node, etc.)
npx tsx src/index.ts

# Use npx for one-off tools
npx tsc --init
```

The OMOS image variant also includes **Bun**, a faster JavaScript runtime and package manager:

```bash
bun init
bun install
bun run src/index.ts
```

Node modules are stored in your project directory under `/workspace` and persist automatically.

### VS Code integration

VS Code can connect directly to a running opencode-devbox container for a full IDE experience with IntelliSense, debugging, and extensions running inside the container.

**Local Docker (Docker running on your workstation):**

1. Install the [Dev Containers](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers) extension
2. Start the container: `docker compose up -d`
3. In VS Code: `Ctrl+Shift+P` → "Dev Containers: Attach to Running Container" → select `opencode-devbox`

**Remote Docker (Docker running on a remote server, e.g. via SSH):**

1. Install the [Remote - SSH](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh) and [Dev Containers](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers) extensions
2. Connect to the remote host: `Ctrl+Shift+P` → "Remote-SSH: Connect to Host"
3. On the remote host, start the container: `docker compose up -d`
4. In VS Code (now connected to the remote): `Ctrl+Shift+P` → "Dev Containers: Attach to Running Container"

VS Code extensions installed inside the container persist as long as the container exists (not removed with `docker compose down`). For persistent extension storage across container recreations, add a named volume:

```yaml
volumes:
  - devbox-vscode:/home/developer/.vscode-server
```

### Multi-user setup

The shared-machine compose file (`docker-compose.shared.yml`) supports two modes:

**Own-account mode** (each user has their own OS login — the common case):
Leave `SIGNUM` unset in `.env`. The project name defaults to `devbox-$USER`, so each OS user automatically gets isolated container names and named volumes with zero configuration.

**Shared-account mode** (everyone logs in as the same OS user, e.g. `garage`):
Each user sets `SIGNUM=<unique-id>` in `.env` to get isolation.

Setup per user:

```bash
# Replace <signum> with your username/identifier
mkdir -p ~/<signum>/opencode-devbox
cd ~/<signum>/opencode-devbox

# Copy the shared-machine compose and env files
cp /path/to/opencode-devbox/docker-compose.shared.yml docker-compose.yml
cp /path/to/opencode-devbox/.env.shared.example .env

# Edit .env — set SIGNUM only if you're in shared-account mode
vim .env

# Start
docker compose up -d
docker compose exec -u developer devbox opencode
```

Each user's container, config, and named volumes are fully isolated:
- Container name: `devbox-<signum>` (or `devbox-$USER` in own-account mode)
- Named volumes: prefixed with the project name (`devbox-<signum>_devbox-data`, etc.) — the Docker daemon is system-wide, so directory-name prefixing alone is NOT sufficient for isolation
- Opencode config: persisted via per-user named volume (`devbox-<signum>_devbox-opencode-config`)

See `docker-compose.shared.yml` and `.env.shared.example` for the full configuration.

### Rebuilding the Image

`docker compose run` and `docker compose up` use the existing image — they **do not rebuild** when you change the Dockerfile or build args (e.g. updating `OPENCODE_VERSION`). Rebuild explicitly:

```bash
# Rebuild then run
docker compose build
docker compose run --rm devbox

# Or rebuild and run in one step
docker compose run --rm --build devbox
```

### Build Args

Enable optional language runtimes, pin a specific opencode version, or lock any of the tooling components:

```bash
docker compose build --build-arg INSTALL_GO=true
docker compose build --build-arg OPENCODE_VERSION=1.5.0
docker compose build --build-arg NVIM_VERSION=0.12.1   # pin to a specific version
```

| Arg | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `INSTALL_GO` | `false` | Go toolchain (resolves latest stable from go.dev when `GO_VERSION=latest`) |
| `INSTALL_MEMPALACE` | `true` | [MemPalace](https://github.com/MemPalace/mempalace) local AI memory system (~300 MB — disable to shrink image if you don't need MCP memory) |
| `INSTALL_MEMPALACE_TOOLKIT` | `true` | [mempalace-toolkit](https://gitea.jordbo.se/joakimp/mempalace-toolkit) bash wrappers (`mempalace-session`, `mempalace-docs`). Cloned at build time from `MEMPALACE_TOOLKIT_REF` (default `main`). Requires `INSTALL_MEMPALACE=true`. |
| `INSTALL_OMOS` | `false` | [oh-my-opencode-slim](https://github.com/alvinunreal/oh-my-opencode-slim) multi-agent orchestration (installs Bun and plugin) |
| `INSTALL_OPENCODE` | `true` | Install opencode. Set `false` to build a pi-only image (still includes Bun if `INSTALL_OMOS=true`; for a fully stripped pi-only image see the `pi-devbox` repo). |
| `INSTALL_PI` | `false` | Install [pi](https://github.com/mariozechner/pi-coding-agent) as alternative/complementary harness. Both clones [pi-toolkit](https://gitea.jordbo.se/joakimp/pi-toolkit) (~5 MB) and [pi-extensions](https://gitea.jordbo.se/joakimp/pi-extensions) (~1 MB) into `/opt/`; entrypoint deploys them on container start. ~150 MB total image growth. |
| `PI_VERSION` | `latest` | npm version of `@mariozechner/pi-coding-agent`. Floats by default (image rebuild = pi update). |
| `PI_TOOLKIT_REF`, `PI_EXTENSIONS_REF` | `main` | Git refs for the toolkit/extensions clones. Pin to a tag/commit for reproducibility. |
| `OPENCODE_VERSION` | *(pinned per release)* | opencode npm version. Drives the image tag and is intentionally not floated. |
| `NODE_VERSION` | `22` | Node.js major version. Pinned to protect against upstream breaking changes across majors. |
| `GOSU_VERSION`, `FZF_VERSION`, `GIT_LFS_VERSION`, `NVIM_VERSION`, `BAT_VERSION`, `EZA_VERSION`, `ZOXIDE_VERSION`, `UV_VERSION`, `GITEA_MCP_VERSION`, `GO_VERSION`, `OMOS_VERSION` | `latest` | All GitHub/Gitea/go.dev-hosted binaries resolve to the newest upstream release at build time. Override with a specific version to pin. Resolved versions are logged in CI output. |

> **Reproducibility note:** With `latest` defaults, two builds of the same `v{opencode}` tag may embed different tool versions if upstream releases have happened in between. This is intentional — it means every rebuild picks up upstream CVE fixes automatically. If you need a bit-for-bit reproducible build, pass explicit `*_VERSION` args. The CI smoke test logs the resolved versions for every release build.

## oh-my-opencode-slim (Multi-Agent Orchestration)

[oh-my-opencode-slim](https://github.com/alvinunreal/oh-my-opencode-slim) adds a multi-agent layer on top of opencode — an Orchestrator delegates tasks to specialized agents (Explorer, Oracle, Librarian, Designer, Fixer), each configurable with different models and providers.

### Setup

A pre-built OMOS image is available on Docker Hub as `joakimp/opencode-devbox:latest-omos`. Alternatively, build from source:

**1. Build the image with OMOS support:**

```bash
docker compose build --build-arg INSTALL_OMOS=true
```

This installs Bun and the oh-my-opencode-slim package into the image.

**2. Enable in `.env`:**

```bash
ENABLE_OMOS=true
```

**3. Run as normal:**

```bash
docker compose run --rm devbox
```

On first start, the entrypoint runs the oh-my-opencode-slim installer in non-interactive mode. It generates agent configuration at `~/.config/opencode/oh-my-opencode-slim.json` inside the container. The default preset uses OpenAI models — edit the generated config or mount your own to customize.

### OMOS Environment Variables

| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `ENABLE_OMOS` | `false` | Activate oh-my-opencode-slim on container start |
| `OMOS_TMUX` | `false` | Enable tmux pane integration (tmux is included in the base image) |
| `OMOS_SKILLS` | `true` | Install recommended skills (simplify, agent-browser, cartography) |
| `OMOS_RESET` | `false` | Force regenerate config on next start (backs up existing config) |

### Custom Configuration

If you mount the opencode config directory (see Custom opencode config above), the `oh-my-opencode-slim.json` file is included and persists across restarts. Edit it directly to control which models power each agent, fallback chains, council setup, and more.

See the [oh-my-opencode-slim configuration docs](https://github.com/alvinunreal/oh-my-opencode-slim/blob/master/docs/configuration.md) for the full reference.

### Verifying Agents

After starting opencode with OMOS enabled, run inside the opencode session:

```
ping all agents
```

All six agents should respond if your provider authentication is working.

## pi (alternative/complementary harness)

[pi](https://github.com/mariozechner/pi-coding-agent) is a lightweight TUI coding-agent that can run alongside opencode in the same container. Both harnesses share the mempalace install and palace data — wing/diary entries created by one are visible to the other.

### Build

```bash
docker compose build --build-arg INSTALL_PI=true
# Or: pin a pi version
docker compose build --build-arg INSTALL_PI=true --build-arg PI_VERSION=0.73.0
# Or: pi-only image (no opencode, smaller)
docker compose build --build-arg INSTALL_PI=true --build-arg INSTALL_OPENCODE=false
```

### Run

The default `compose run --rm devbox` invocation drops to a login bash so you can choose:

```bash
docker compose run --rm devbox       # bash, then `pi` or `opencode` or `aws sso login`
docker compose run --rm devbox pi     # launch pi directly
docker compose run --rm devbox opencode
```

For an attached `compose up -d` container, both harnesses are reachable via `compose exec`:

```bash
docker compose exec -u developer devbox pi
docker compose exec -u developer devbox opencode
docker compose exec -u developer devbox bash
```

### What gets installed

- **`pi` CLI** — npm-installed globally at build time. Version pinned by `PI_VERSION`.
- **pi-toolkit** — keybindings.json (mosh/tmux newline fixes), pi-env.zsh (AWS env loader), settings.json template. Cloned to `/opt/pi-toolkit`; deployed to `~/.pi/agent/` on first container start.
- **pi-extensions** — 6 extensions: `confirm-destructive`, `ext-toggle` (`/ext` slash command), `git-checkpoint`, `notify`, `ssh-controlmaster`, `todo`. Cloned to `/opt/pi-extensions`; symlinked into `~/.pi/agent/extensions/`.
- **mempalace bridge** — `mempalace.ts` extension symlinked from the cloned mempalace-toolkit. Provides pi's MCP tools for palace search/diary/kg.

### Persistence

`~/.pi/` is mounted on the `devbox-pi-config` named volume. User toggles via `/ext`, edits to `~/.pi/agent/settings.json`, and any pi state survive container recreate. `pi update` writes to the npm global prefix which is *not* on a volume — image rebuild is the upgrade path.

### Configuration

The entrypoint copies `pi-toolkit/settings.example.json` to `~/.pi/agent/settings.json` on first start. Edit it to set provider/model:

```bash
docker compose exec -u developer devbox $EDITOR ~/.pi/agent/settings.json
```

The AWS env loader (`pi-env.zsh`) reads `~/.config/pi/.env` if you bind-mount one; otherwise pi uses container env vars passed via `.env`.

## AWS Bedrock Authentication

When using AWS Bedrock as your LLM provider, you need:

### 1. AWS config on the host

The container needs access to your `~/.aws/config` with 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 on the host:

```bash
aws configure sso
```

### 2. Mount `~/.aws` into the container

Uncomment the AWS volume mount in `docker-compose.yml`:

```yaml
- ~/.aws:/home/developer/.aws
```

Note: do **not** use `:ro` — SSO writes token cache files to this directory.

### 3. Authenticate inside the container

Since the container runs headless (no browser), use the device-code flow:

```bash
# Start the container
docker compose up -d
docker compose exec -u developer devbox bash

# Authenticate — prints a URL and code you open in your local browser
aws sso login --sso-session <your-sso-session> --use-device-code

# Once approved in the browser, start opencode
opencode
```

The `--use-device-code` flag outputs a URL and short code instead of trying to open a browser. Copy the URL into any browser (on your laptop, phone, etc.), enter the code, and complete the 2FA flow. The CLI in the container picks up the session automatically.

SSO sessions typically last 8–12 hours before requiring re-authentication. Since `~/.aws` is mounted from the host, tokens persist across container restarts.

## MemPalace — persistent AI memory

The image includes [MemPalace](https://github.com/MemPalace/mempalace), a local-first AI memory system that stores conversation history verbatim and retrieves it via semantic search. Nothing leaves your machine.

> MemPalace adds ~300 MB to the image (chromadb, embedding model deps). If you don't use it, rebuild with `--build-arg INSTALL_MEMPALACE=false` to shrink the image.

### Enabling persistence

Uncomment the palace volume in `docker-compose.yml`:

```yaml
- devbox-palace:/home/developer/.mempalace
```

Without the volume, palace data lives in the container's writable layer and is lost on `--force-recreate`.

### MCP integration with opencode

Add mempalace as an MCP server in your `opencode.jsonc` (inside `~/.config/opencode/`):

```json
{
  "mcp": {
    "mempalace": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": ["mempalace-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

> The image installs mempalace into an isolated `uv tool` venv at `/opt/uv-tools/mempalace/`. `uv tool install` places `mempalace-mcp` on `PATH` as a shim whose shebang points at the venv's Python, so MCP clients can invoke it as a normal binary without worrying about the venv. Do **not** use `["python3", "-m", "mempalace.mcp_server"]` — the system Python cannot import from the uv-managed venv and you'll get `ModuleNotFoundError` / `MCP error -32000: connection closed`.

This gives opencode access to 29 MCP tools for searching memory, querying the knowledge graph, managing wings/rooms/drawers, and agent diaries.

### Basic usage

```bash
# Mine project files into the palace
mempalace mine /workspace

# Mine conversation transcripts
mempalace mine ~/.local/share/opencode/ --mode convos

# Search memory
mempalace search "why did we switch to eno1"

# Load context for a new session
mempalace wake-up
```

Each workspace gets its own isolated "wing" — memories never leak between projects.

### Scheduled mining (mempalace-toolkit)

The image bakes in [mempalace-toolkit](https://gitea.jordbo.se/joakimp/mempalace-toolkit), a small set of bash wrappers that pair with mempalace for two common routines:

```bash
# Mine opencode session history (reads ~/.local/share/opencode/opencode.db, stages JSONL, mines into wing_conversations)
mempalace-session

# Mine a project's docs into a dedicated wing
mempalace-docs /workspace/my-project
```

Both wrappers are idempotent and dedup-aware — re-running them on unchanged input is a cheap no-op.

For weekly automated runs, the toolkit ships ready-to-use scheduler templates (systemd user timer, launchd user agent, cron) in its [`contrib/`](https://gitea.jordbo.se/joakimp/mempalace-toolkit/src/branch/main/contrib) directory. The `*-devbox` variants are designed for this container: host-side schedulers that `docker exec` into the running opencode-devbox.

Disable the toolkit (keeps mempalace itself) with `--build-arg INSTALL_MEMPALACE_TOOLKIT=false`. Pin to a specific ref with `--build-arg MEMPALACE_TOOLKIT_REF=v0.3.0` once tagged releases exist.

### Storage

Two separate named volumes keep different data classes apart:

- **Palace data** (`~/.mempalace/`): ChromaDB vectors, SQLite knowledge graph, drawers. This is your memory — back it up, treat it as precious. Persists via the `devbox-palace` named volume.
- **Embedding model cache** (`~/.cache/chroma/`): ONNX model (~79 MB), downloaded automatically on first search. Disposable — blow it away and it re-downloads in ~4 seconds. Persists via the `devbox-chroma-cache` named volume so you don't re-download on every container recreation.
- **No API keys required** for core functionality (local embeddings via ONNX).

Both volumes are commented out by default in `docker-compose.yml` — uncomment to enable:

```yaml
- devbox-palace:/home/developer/.mempalace
- devbox-chroma-cache:/home/developer/.cache/chroma
```

**Air-gapped environments:** pre-populate the `devbox-chroma-cache` volume with the `all-MiniLM-L6-v2/` model contents. The palace volume needs no pre-population.

## Gitea MCP server

The image includes the [official Gitea MCP server](https://gitea.com/gitea/gitea-mcp) (`gitea-mcp`), providing 50+ MCP tools for interacting with self-hosted Gitea instances — repositories, issues, pull requests, releases, branches, wiki, and Actions.

### Setup

1. Create a Personal Access Token on your Gitea instance (Settings → Applications → Generate Token, scopes: `repo`, `read:user`).

2. Add to your `.env`:
   ```env
   GITEA_HOST=https://your-gitea-instance.example.com
   GITEA_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_token_here
   ```

3. Enable the gitea MCP server in your `opencode.jsonc`:
   ```json
   {
     "mcp": {
       "gitea": {
         "type": "local",
         "command": ["gitea-mcp", "-t", "stdio", "--host", "{env:GITEA_HOST}"],
         "environment": {
           "GITEA_ACCESS_TOKEN": "{env:GITEA_ACCESS_TOKEN}"
         },
         "enabled": true
       }
     }
   }
   ```

The server is installed but disabled by default — it requires authentication to be useful.

## Context7 MCP server

The image auto-registers a [Context7](https://context7.com) MCP server, which provides up-to-date library documentation and code examples to LLMs at query time. This is a remote MCP server at `mcp.context7.com/mcp` — no local binary is needed.

- Auto-registered in the generated `opencode.jsonc` (no manual setup required)
- Provides documentation for any programming library/framework on demand
- Requires internet access — useless in air-gapped/offline environments

## 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
```

## Secret Scanning

A [gitleaks](https://github.com/gitleaks/gitleaks) pre-commit hook prevents accidentally committing API keys, passwords, or other secrets.

### Setup

```bash
# macOS / Linuxbrew
brew install gitleaks

# Debian/Ubuntu (download binary)
curl -sSL https://github.com/gitleaks/gitleaks/releases/latest/download/gitleaks_$(uname -s)_$(uname -m).tar.gz | sudo tar -xz -C /usr/local/bin gitleaks
```

The hook runs automatically on every `git commit`. If gitleaks isn't installed, the hook prints a warning and allows the commit (no hard dependency on collaborators).

### Bypass

For legitimate cases (test data, documentation with example keys):

```bash
git commit --no-verify -m "Add test fixtures"
```

### Configuration

Allowlisted paths and rules are in `.gitleaks.toml`. The defaults extend gitleaks' built-in rules and allow `.env.example` and documentation files.

### Data persistence

| Path in container | Source | Survives `--rm`? | Contains |
|---|---|---|---|
| `/workspace` | Host bind mount | ✅ Yes | Your project files |
| `/home/developer/.ssh` | Host bind mount (ro) | ✅ Yes | SSH keys |
| `/home/developer/.aws` | Host bind mount (if configured) | ✅ Yes | AWS credentials/SSO cache |
| `/home/developer/.local/share/opencode` | Named volume `devbox-data` | ✅ Yes | Session history, memory |
| `/home/developer/.local/state/opencode` | Named volume `devbox-state` | ✅ Yes | TUI settings (theme, toggles) |
| `/home/developer/.cache/bash` | Named volume `devbox-shell-history` | ✅ Yes | Bash history (`$HISTFILE`), survives container recreate |
| `/home/developer/.local/share/zoxide` | Named volume `devbox-zoxide` | ✅ Yes | Zoxide directory history (`z <fragment>` jump targets) |
| `/home/developer/.local/share/nvim` | Named volume `devbox-nvim-data` | ✅ Yes | Neovim plugins, Mason LSP installs, Lazy plugin cache |
| `/home/developer/.local/share/uv` | Named volume `devbox-uv` (if configured) | ✅ Yes | Python installs, uv tool installs |
| `/home/developer/.rustup` | Named volume `devbox-rustup` (if configured) | ✅ Yes | Rust toolchains |
| `/home/developer/.cargo` | Named volume `devbox-cargo` (if configured) | ✅ Yes | Cargo binaries, registry cache |
| `/home/developer/.vscode-server` | Named volume `devbox-vscode` (if configured) | ✅ Yes | VS Code server and extensions |
| `/home/developer/.config/opencode` | Named volume `devbox-opencode-config` | ✅ Yes | `opencode.jsonc`, skills, plus `oh-my-opencode-slim.json` on the OMOS variant |

**opencode config** (`opencode.jsonc`) is auto-generated from `OPENCODE_PROVIDER` on each start. It sets provider and model only — no MCP servers. To persist config changes and use custom settings, use the named volume (default) or bind-mount from host (see Custom opencode config above).
