Quick Start

Using Envcontainer is a three-step process:

   [!TIP] configuration files exemples here.

2. Run envcontainer build
3. Lastly, run envcontainer start and Envcontainer will start and enter your container.

A Envcontainer file looks like this:

project:
  name: <YOUR_PROJECT_NAME> # Envcontainer
  version: <YOUR_PROJECT_VERSION> # 1.0.0
  description: <YOUR_PROJECT_DESCRIPTION> # Create a development environment for Envcontainer Application.
container:
  # write Dockerfile to build container
  build: |
    FROM ubuntu:latest
auto-stop: false
