Environment Variables

Flag Environment variable Default Description
--setup-script ENVBUILDER_SETUP_SCRIPT The script to run before the init script. It runs as the root user regardless of the user specified in the devcontainer.json file. SetupScript is ran as the root user prior to the init script. It is used to configure envbuilder dynamically during the runtime. e.g. specifying whether to start systemd or tiny init for PID 1.
--init-script ENVBUILDER_INIT_SCRIPT The script to run to initialize the workspace. Default: sleep infinity.
--init-command ENVBUILDER_INIT_COMMAND The command to run to initialize the workspace. Default: /bin/sh.
--init-args ENVBUILDER_INIT_ARGS The arguments to pass to the init command. They are split according to /bin/sh rules with https://github.com/kballard/go-shellquote.
--cache-repo ENVBUILDER_CACHE_REPO The name of the container registry to push the cache image to. If this is empty, the cache will not be pushed.
--base-image-cache-dir ENVBUILDER_BASE_IMAGE_CACHE_DIR The path to a directory where the base image can be found. This should be a read-only directory solely mounted for the purpose of caching the base image.
--layer-cache-dir ENVBUILDER_LAYER_CACHE_DIR The path to a directory where built layers will be stored. This spawns an in-memory registry to serve the layers from.
--devcontainer-dir ENVBUILDER_DEVCONTAINER_DIR The path to the folder containing the devcontainer.json file that will be used to build the workspace and can either be an absolute path or a path relative to the workspace folder. If not provided, defaults to .devcontainer.
--devcontainer-json-path ENVBUILDER_DEVCONTAINER_JSON_PATH The path to a devcontainer.json file that is either an absolute path or a path relative to DevcontainerDir. This can be used in cases where one wants to substitute an edited devcontainer.json file for the one that exists in the repo.
--dockerfile-path ENVBUILDER_DOCKERFILE_PATH The relative path to the Dockerfile that will be used to build the workspace. This is an alternative to using a devcontainer that some might find simpler.
--build-context-path ENVBUILDER_BUILD_CONTEXT_PATH Can be specified when a DockerfilePath is specified outside the base WorkspaceFolder. This path MUST be relative to the WorkspaceFolder path into which the repo is cloned.
--cache-ttl-days ENVBUILDER_CACHE_TTL_DAYS The number of days to use cached layers before expiring them. Defaults to 7 days.
--docker-config-base64 ENVBUILDER_DOCKER_CONFIG_BASE64 The base64 encoded Docker config file that will be used to pull images from private container registries.
--fallback-image ENVBUILDER_FALLBACK_IMAGE Specifies an alternative image to use when neither an image is declared in the devcontainer.json file nor a Dockerfile is present. If there's a build failure (from a faulty Dockerfile) or a misconfiguration, this image will be the substitute. Set ExitOnBuildFailure to true to halt the container if the build faces an issue.
--exit-on-build-failure ENVBUILDER_EXIT_ON_BUILD_FAILURE Terminates the container upon a build failure. This is handy when preferring the FALLBACK_IMAGE in cases where no devcontainer.json or image is provided. However, it ensures that the container stops if the build process encounters an error.
--force-safe ENVBUILDER_FORCE_SAFE Ignores any filesystem safety checks. This could cause serious harm to your system! This is used in cases where bypass is needed to unblock customers.
--insecure ENVBUILDER_INSECURE Bypass TLS verification when cloning and pulling from container registries.
--ignore-paths ENVBUILDER_IGNORE_PATHS The comma separated list of paths to ignore when building the workspace.
--skip-rebuild ENVBUILDER_SKIP_REBUILD Skip building if the MagicFile exists. This is used to skip building when a container is restarting. e.g. docker stop -> docker start This value can always be set to true - even if the container is being started for the first time.
--git-url ENVBUILDER_GIT_URL The URL of a Git repository containing a Devcontainer or Docker image to clone. This is optional.
--git-clone-depth ENVBUILDER_GIT_CLONE_DEPTH The depth to use when cloning the Git repository.
--git-clone-single-branch ENVBUILDER_GIT_CLONE_SINGLE_BRANCH Clone only a single branch of the Git repository.
--git-username ENVBUILDER_GIT_USERNAME The username to use for Git authentication. This is optional.
--git-password ENVBUILDER_GIT_PASSWORD The password to use for Git authentication. This is optional.
--git-ssh-private-key-path ENVBUILDER_GIT_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH Path to an SSH private key to be used for Git authentication.
--git-http-proxy-url ENVBUILDER_GIT_HTTP_PROXY_URL The URL for the HTTP proxy. This is optional.
--workspace-folder ENVBUILDER_WORKSPACE_FOLDER The path to the workspace folder that will be built. This is optional.
--ssl-cert-base64 ENVBUILDER_SSL_CERT_BASE64 The content of an SSL cert file. This is useful for self-signed certificates.
--export-env-file ENVBUILDER_EXPORT_ENV_FILE Optional file path to a .env file where envbuilder will dump environment variables from devcontainer.json and the built container image.
--post-start-script-path ENVBUILDER_POST_START_SCRIPT_PATH The path to a script that will be created by envbuilder based on the postStartCommand in devcontainer.json, if any is specified (otherwise the script is not created). If this is set, the specified InitCommand should check for the presence of this script and execute it after successful startup.
--coder-agent-url CODER_AGENT_URL URL of the Coder deployment. If CODER_AGENT_TOKEN is also set, logs from envbuilder will be forwarded here and will be visible in the workspace build logs.
--coder-agent-token CODER_AGENT_TOKEN Authentication token for a Coder agent. If this is set, then CODER_AGENT_URL must also be set.
--coder-agent-subsystem CODER_AGENT_SUBSYSTEM Coder agent subsystems to report when forwarding logs. The envbuilder subsystem is always included.
--push-image ENVBUILDER_PUSH_IMAGE Push the built image to a remote registry. This option forces a reproducible build.
--get-cached-image ENVBUILDER_GET_CACHED_IMAGE Print the digest of the cached image, if available. Exits with an error if not found.
--remote-repo-build-mode ENVBUILDER_REMOTE_REPO_BUILD_MODE false Use the remote repository as the source of truth when building the image. Enabling this option ignores user changes to local files and they will not be reflected in the image. This can be used to improving cache utilization when multiple users are building working on the same repository.
--verbose ENVBUILDER_VERBOSE Enable verbose logging.
