Using this definition

While this definition should work unmodified, you can select the version of Elixir the container uses by updating the VARIANT arg in the included docker-compose.yml. In the same way you can specify a Phoenix Version by modifying the PHOENIX_VERSION.

services:
  elixir:
    build: .
    args:
      # Elixir Version: 1.9, 1.10, 1.10.4, ...
      VARIANT: 1.10
      # Phoenix Version: 1.4.17, 1.5.4, ...
      PHOENIX_VERSION: 1.5.4
      # ...

Installing Node.js

Given that Phoenix/Elixir web applications use Node.js for compiling assets, this container also includes Node.js. You can change the version of Node.js installed or disable its installation by updating the args property in .devcontainer/docker-compose.yml.

services:
  elixir:
    build: .
    args:
      # ...
      # Node Version: 10, 11, ...
      NODE_VERSION: 14
      # ...

Adding the definition to your folder

1. If this is your first time using a development container, please see getting started information on setting up Remote-Containers or creating a codespace using GitHub Codespaces.

2. Start VS Code and open your project folder or connect to a codespace.

3. Press F1 select and Add Development Container Configuration Files... command for Remote-Containers or Codespaces.

   Note: If needed, you can drag-and-drop the .devcontainer folder from this sub-folder in a locally cloned copy of this repository into the VS Code file explorer instead of using the command.

4. Select this definition. You may also need to select Show All Definitions... for it to appear.

5. Finally, press F1 and run Remote-Containers: Reopen Folder in Container or Codespaces: Rebuild Container to start using the definition.

Testing the definition

This definition includes some test code that will help you verify it is working as expected on your system. Follow these steps:

1. If this is your first time using a development container, please follow the getting started steps to set up your machine.
2. Clone this repository.
3. Start VS Code, press F1, and select Remote-Containers: Open Folder in Container...
4. Select the containers/elixir-phoenix-postgres folder.
5. After the folder has opened in the container, press F5 to start the project.
6. You should see "Hello, Remote Extension Host!" followed by "Hello, Local Extension Host!" in the Debug Console after the program executes.
7. From here, you can add breakpoints or edit the contents of the test-project folder to do further testing.
