Release Notes

Shell and Build Support for NodeJS and PHP

Devbox can now autodetect NodeJs and PHP projects. You can use devbox shell to spin up a shell with Node + PHP included, or build a Docker container with devbox build.

Customize your Devbox Shell with Init Hooks

Scripts configured as init_hooks in your devbox.json will run whenever you start a Devbox shell. This can be used to set environment variables, run setup tasks, or start background services whenever you initialize your shell. For example, you can use an init hook to customize your prompt whenever you start a shell:

{
  "shell": {
    "init_hook": "export PS1='📦 devbox> '\necho 'Welcome! See CONTRIBUTING.md for tips on contributing to devbox.'"
  }
}

Packages are now included in your Docker containers

Nix packages added in your devbox.json are now also installed in your Docker container when running devbox build. Packages will be installed before your project’s installation_stage runs.

You can view the full set of commits for this pre-release on Github

What's Next for Devbox

Our upcoming development cycle will focus on further expanding our language support, as well as releasing a framework for developers in our community to easily add Devbox support for their favorite languages. You can learn more about what's coming by reviewing our Public Roadmap.
