Developing DragonOS with devcontainer

This tutorial uses VSCode as an example and requires a Linux system with Docker installed.

Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/DragonOS-Community/DragonOS.git
code DragonOS

Enter the devcontainer Environment

A popup will appear in the bottom right corner of VSCode. Select Reopen in Container. If it's not visible, follow these steps to enter:

• Download the devcontainer plugin
• ctrl+shift+p Open the VSCode command palette
• Type devcontainer, and you'll see an option for Reopen in Container. Click it to build the devcontainer environment

The build may take some time, especially as the msr plugin is prone to installation failures under poor network conditions.

Build DragonOS!

Simply enter

make run-nographic

Wait for the build to complete, and you will automatically enter the DragonOS QEMU environment.

To exit the QEMU environment, type ctrl+a and then press x.
