Roadmap

The roadmap for Dockside currently remains highly flexible. We have a list of candidate features we think would be great to add, and will gradually implement, but we want to hear from you what you would like.

v1.x.y

Minor issues

  • Remove duplicate nvm chaff appended to .bashrc

Minor improvements

  • Add profiles for more Linux distributions
  • Add keyboard shortcuts for open Launch form, Launch, Stop, Start, Cancel
  • Add option to launch Dockside UI listening on http://localhost/ (i.e. no HTTPS) for purely local usage

Application Client

  • Add devtainer-level menu to select version of Theia IDE (from those available) to launch for the devtainer
  • Add UI for managing users, passwords, ssh keys (including deploying keys to devtainers)
  • Add UI for managing profiles
  • Add UI for monitoring/managing host memory/disk space/images
  • Add UI for monitoring/managing container memory/disk space/CPU (via docker stats)
  • Improve UI (in-app view) for viewing devtainer stdout/stderr logs, or providing a terminal connection
  • Replace Bootstrap with alternative CSS framework more appropriate to a web app

Service access control

  • Implement per-devtainer secret-URL-based auth/access level for services that should be shared only with select public individuals (aka 'devtainerCookie' auth)

Application Server

  • Break out Application Server into standalone FastCGI process to facilitate:
    • reimplement static error pages (for stopped devtainers, and devtainers with stopped services) within the client
  • Reimplement all remaining Docker CLI calls with API calls (and remove docker packages from main production build)

IDE customisation and support

  • Build in ssh-agent for use with images where none is provided
  • Support for other IDEs e.g. VS Code, Cloud9, Jupyter
  • Add config and profile options to enable/disable in-devtainer user creation, sudo configuration, and ssh-agent auto-launch

Launch customisation

  • A 'fork'/'clone' button, that launches a devtainer using the same disk image as the selected devtainer
  • A 'launch again' button, that launches a devtainer using the same profile and settings as the selected devtainer
  • Support for launching a devtainer from an image built from a Dockerfile
  • Support for launching a devtainer directly from a git repo using .devcontainer.json
  • Support for launching a devtainer directly from a literal Dockerfile or Dockerfile URL
  • Integrated SSH key management and agent, allowing devtainers to git pull/git checkout specified branches when they launch
  • Custom hooks/variables to allow devtainer launch URLs to be crafted that pull/checkout/build specific branches of a repo (depends on integrated SSH agent)
  • Hooks that execute custom commands within a devtainer when a devtainer is first launched, started, stopped, renamed, or periodically

Other

  • Implement per-user quotas for devtainers memory, disk and CPU resources
  • Support for Podman

Scalability

  • Docker Swarm and/or Kubernetes support to allow devtainers to be distributed across a cluster

v2.0.0

Application Server:

  • Migration of server functionality to Go or Node.js
