Docker commands

Many of the most common Docker and docker-compose commands are built right into the Command Palette (F1).

Dockerfile linting

You can enable linting of Dockerfile files through the docker.enableLinting setting (CMD+, on MacOS, or Ctrl+, on Windows and Linux). The extension uses the awesome dockerfile_lint rules based linter to analyze the Dockerfile. You can provide your own customized rules file by setting the docker.linterRuleFile setting. You can find more information on how to create rules files as well as sample rules files in the dockerfile_lint project.

Azure CLI

Microsoft ships the latest Azure CLI as a Docker image. You can easily launch a container running the CLI from the Command Palette (press F1 and search for Docker: Azure CLI). The extension will then run an interactive terminal attached to the container.

After the container is started, you will be prompted to login to your Azure account. From there, set the subscription you want to work with using az account set (you can see all of your subscriptions with az account list). You do not need to login in every time you run the container becasue the extension volume mounts the local $HOME/.azure folder to the container's $HOME/.azure folder.

If you do not have an Azure subscription, sign up today for a free 30 day account and get $200 in Azure Credits to try out any combination of Azure services.

Installation

In VS Code, press F1 and type in ext install vscode-docker. Once the extension is installed you will be prompted to restart Visual Studio Code which will only take (literally) a couple of seconds.

Of course, you will want to have Docker installed on your computer in order to run commands from the Command Palette (F1, type in Docker).

Running commands on Linux

By default, Docker runs as the root user, requiring other users to access it with sudo. This extension does not assume root access, so you will need to create a Unix group called docker and add users to it. Instructions can be found here: Create a Docker group

Connecting to docker-machine

The default connection of the extension is to connect to the local docker daemon. You can connect to a docker-machine instance if you launch Visual Studio Code and have the DOCKER_HOST environment variable set to a valid host.
