📄 Description

Dockside is a free and open-source tool for provisioning lightweight access-controlled IDEs, staging environments and sandboxes - aka devtainers - on local machine, self-hosted on-premises on bare metal or VM, or in the cloud.

What sets it apart is:

its ease of self-hosting and low footprint: launch with either a single docker run command, or on Google Cloud with a Deployment Manager script
the speed with which development environments IDEs can be launched from vanilla or bespoke production images i.e. seconds.
the fine-grained access control designed for small-to-medium-sized development teams, that allows admins to control what host resources developers and images individual devs can use, and allows devs to control with whom their work is shared
Dockside is not just a tool for provisioning online IDEs, but also a staging platform: web services running on any development container can be staged either for secure private sharing with colleagues or for publicly sharing with clients or beta testers, all over HTTPS (with self-supplied cert, autogenerated self-signed cert, or a LetsEncrypt certificate automatically provisioned for your own domains).

What also sets Dockside apart is its flexibility to work with pre-existing third-party Docker or system components, such as:

launching development containers within alternative runtimes like Gvisor, Kata Containers or Sysbox
launching containers on x86 platforms that run foreign architecture code, using qemu-user-static
custom iptables/nftables rules for sandboxing container traffic
