devbox

A developer workstation VM. Installs Docker Engine and zsh via cloud-init on first boot.

Create

vee create dev --template devbox
vee create dev --template devbox --distro ubuntu  # default

Included software

  • Docker Engine (latest)
  • zsh + Oh My Zsh
  • Common dev tools: git, curl, jq, vim

Notes

  • Supports --distro to switch the base Linux distro (where images are available).
  • --distro omarchy delegates to the omarchy template: an unattended install of Omarchy’s Arch + Hyprland desktop from its own ISO, with the devbox’s dev user carried over. Omarchy has no cloud-init, but its stock install already includes Docker, lazydocker, and git.
  • Supports --virtiofs-dir to share your home directory or project folder into the VM.
