You can directly reference pre-built versions of Dockerfile by using the image property in .devcontainer/devcontainer.json or updating the FROM statement in your own Dockerfile to one of the following. An example Dockerfile is included in this repository.
mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/javascript-node(latest)mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/javascript-node:18(or18-bullseye,18-busterto pin to an OS version)mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/javascript-node:16(or16-bullseye,16-busterto pin to an OS version)mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/javascript-node:14(or14-bullseye,14-busterto pin to an OS version)
Refer to this guide for more details.
You can decide how often you want updates by referencing a semantic version of each image. For example:
mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/typescript-node:0-16(or0-16-bullseye,0-16-buster)mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/typescript-node:0.204-16(or0.204-16-bullseye,0.204-16-buster)mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/typescript-node:0.204.0-16(or0.204.0-16-bullseye,0.204.0-16-buster)
However, we only do security patching on the latest non-breaking, in support versions of images (e.g. 0-1.16). You may want to run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade in your Dockerfile if you lock to a more specific version to at least pick up OS security updates.
Beyond Node.js and git, this image / Dockerfile includes eslint, zsh, Oh My Zsh!, a non-root node user with sudo access, and a set of common dependencies for development. Node Version Manager (nvm) is also included in case you need to use a different version of Node.js than the one included in the image.
