Quick start

Using the template (Codespaces / VS Code)

Create a .devcontainer/devcontainer.json in your project:

{
  "name": "Power Platform",
  "image": "ghcr.io/talxis/tools-agentbox/image:latest",
  "customizations": {
    "codespaces": {
      "openFiles": ["README.md"]
    }
  },
  "secrets": {
    "DATAVERSE_ENV_URL": {
      "description": "Your Dataverse environment URL"
    }
  },
  "hostRequirements": {
    "cpus": 2,
    "memory": "8gb"
  }
}

Or use individual features:

{
  "name": "Power Platform",
  "image": "mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:10.0",
  "features": {
    "ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/node:1": { "version": "22" },
    "ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/azure-cli:1": { "extensions": "azure-devops" },
    "ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/powershell:1": {},
    "ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/terraform:1": {},
    "ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/github-cli:1": {},
    "ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/copilot-cli:1": {},
    "ghcr.io/jlaundry/devcontainer-features/azure-functions-core-tools:1": {},
