OpenIM - OSS Development Container

Open in Dev Containers

This repository includes configuration for a development container for working with OpenIM - OSS in a local container or using GitHub Codespaces.

Tip: The default VNC password is openIM123. The VNC server runs on port 5901 and a web client is available on port 11001, openim-admin on port 11002.

Quick start - local

If you already have VS Code and Docker installed, you can click the badge above or here to get started. Clicking these links will cause VS Code to automatically install the Dev Containers extension if needed, clone the source code into a container volume, and spin up a dev container for use.

  1. Install Docker Desktop or Docker for Linux on your local machine. (See docs for additional details.)

  2. Important: Docker needs at least 4 Cores and 8 GB of RAM to run a full build with 9 GB of RAM being recommended. If you are on macOS, or are using the old Hyper-V engine for Windows, update these values for Docker Desktop by right-clicking on the Docker status bar item and going to Preferences/Settings > Resources > Advanced.

    Note: The Resource Monitor extension is included in the container so you can keep an eye on CPU/Memory in the status bar.

  3. Install Visual Studio Code Stable or Insiders and the Dev Containers extension.

    Note: The Dev Containers extension requires the Visual Studio Code distribution of OpenIM - OSS. See the FAQ for details.

  4. Press Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + P or F1 and select Dev Containers: Clone Repository in Container Volume....

    Tip: While you can use your local source tree instead, operations like yarn install can be slow on macOS or when using the Hyper-V engine on Windows. We recommend using the WSL filesystem on Windows or the "clone repository in container" approach on Windows and macOS instead since it uses "named volume" rather than the local filesystem.

  5. Type https://github.com/openimsdk/open-im-server (or a branch or PR URL) in the input box and press Enter.

  6. After the container is running:

    1. If you have the DISPLAY or WAYLAND_DISPLAY environment variables set locally (or in WSL on Windows), desktop apps in the container will be shown in local windows.
    2. If these are not set, open a web browser and go to http://localhost:11001, or use a VNC Viewer to connect to localhost:11001 and enter vscode as the password. Anything you start in VS Code, or the integrated terminal, will appear here.

Next: Try it out!

Quick start - GitHub Codespaces

  1. From the openimsdk/open-im-server GitHub repository, click on the Code dropdown, select Open with Codespaces, and then click on New codespace. If prompted, select the Standard machine size (which is also the default).

    Note: You will not see these options within GitHub if you are not in the Codespaces beta.

  2. After the codespace is up and running in your browser, press Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + P or F1 and select Ports: Focus on Ports View.

  3. You should see VNC web client (11001) under in the list of ports. Select the line and click on the globe icon to open it in a browser tab.

    Tip: If you do not see the port, Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + P or F1, select Forward a Port and enter port 11001.

  4. In the new tab, you should see noVNC. Click Connect and enter vscode as the password.

Anything you start in VS Code, or the integrated terminal, will appear here.

Next: Try it out!

Using VS Code with GitHub Codespaces

You may see improved VNC responsiveness when accessing a codespace from VS Code client since you can use a VNC Viewer. Here's how to do it.

  1. Install Visual Studio Code Stable or Insiders and the the GitHub Codespaces extension.

    Note: The GitHub Codespaces extension requires the Visual Studio Code distribution of OpenIM - OSS.

  2. After the VS Code is up and running, press Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + P or F1, choose Codespaces: Create New Codespace, and use the following settings:

  • openimsdk/open-im-server for the repository.
  • Select any branch (e.g. main) - you can select a different one later.
  • Choose Standard (4-core, 8GB) as the size.

  1. After you have connected to the codespace, you can use a VNC Viewer to connect to localhost:5901 and enter vscode as the password.

    Tip: You may also need change your VNC client's Picture Quality setting to High to get a full color desktop.

  2. Anything you start in VS Code, or the integrated terminal, will appear here.

Next: Try it out!

Try it

This container uses the Fluxbox window manager to keep things lean. Right-click on the desktop to see menu options. It works with GNOME and GTK applications, so other tools can be installed if needed.

Note: You can also set the resolution from the command line by typing set-resolution.

To start working with OpenIM - OSS, follow these steps:

  1. In your local VS Code client, open a terminal (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + `) and type the following commands:

    yarn install
bash scripts/code.sh

  2. After the build is complete, open a web browser or a VNC Viewer to connect to the desktop environment as described in the quick start and enter vscode as the password.

  3. You should now see OpenIM - OSS!

Next, let's try debugging.

  1. Shut down OpenIM - OSS by clicking the box in the upper right corner of the OpenIM - OSS window through your browser or VNC viewer.

  2. Go to your local VS Code client, and use the Run / Debug view to launch the VS Code configuration. (Typically the default, so you can likely just press F5).

    Note: If launching times out, you can increase the value of timeout in the "VS Code", "Attach Main Process", "Attach Extension Host", and "Attach to Shared Process" configurations in launch.json. However, running ./scripts/code.sh first will set up Electron which will usually solve timeout issues.

  3. After a bit, OpenIM - OSS will appear with the debugger attached!

Enjoy!

Dotfiles

Dotfiles are files and folders on Unix-like systems starting with . that control the configuration of applications and shells on your system. You can store and manage your dotfiles in a repository on GitHub. For advice and tutorials about what to include in your dotfiles repository, see GitHub does dotfiles.

Your dotfiles repository might include your shell aliases and preferences, any tools you want to install, or any other codespace personalization you want to make.

You can configure GitHub Codespaces to use dotfiles from any repository you own by selecting that repository in your personal GitHub Codespaces settings.

When you create a new codespace, GitHub clones your selected dotfiles repository to the codespace environment, and looks for one of the following files to set up the environment.

  • install.sh
  • install
  • bootstrap.sh
  • bootstrap
  • script/bootstrap
  • setup.sh
  • setup
  • script/setup

If none of these files are found, then any files or folders in your selected dotfiles repository starting with . are symlinked to the codespace's ~ or $HOME directory.

Any changes to your selected dotfiles repository will apply only to each new codespace, and do not affect any existing codespace.

Note: Currently, Codespaces does not support personalizing the User-scoped settings for VS Code with your dotfiles repository. You can set default Workspace and Remote [Codespaces] settings for a specific project in the project's repository. For more information, see "Introduction to dev containers."

In addition, you can also configure Codespaces secrets on your personal profile page at github.com/settings/codespaces. Development environment secrets are environment variables that are encrypted, and they are accessible to any codespace you create using repositories that have access to these secrets.

Notes

The container comes with VS Code Insiders installed. To run it from an Integrated Terminal use VSCODE_IPC_HOOK_CLI= /usr/bin/code-insiders ..
