4 sections, as written by the authorCrosvm Dev Container (tools/dev_container)
The tools/dev_container script is a wrapper used to run commands inside the official crosvm
development container. This ensures a consistent environment with all necessary dependencies
installed (such as compilers, libraries, and system tools).
It uses Podman by default, but can fall back to or be forced to use Docker.
Basic Usage
To run any command inside the dev container, prefix it with tools/dev_container:
tools/dev_container <command>
Common Examples:
- Run cargo check:
tools/dev_container cargo check
- Run presubmit checks:
tools/dev_container ./tools/presubmit quick
- Run formatting:
tools/dev_container ./tools/fmt
Key Options
--use-docker: Force the script to use Docker instead of Podman.--pull: Pull the latest version of the container image from the registry before running the
command.
--stop: Stop the currently running container instance.--clean: Clean the container state (useful if the container gets into a bad state).--no-interactive: Run in non-interactive mode (useful for scripts or CI).
