Features

Everything you need for a modern, portable development environment

Core Features

Only need a container runtime (Podman/Docker) and VS Code. No language runtimes, no package managers, no environment pollution on your host system.

Works identically on Windows, Linux, and macOS. Same environment, same tools, same experience everywhere.

Start with a minimal environment. Add databases, AI tools, and other services only when you need them via Docker Compose profiles.

Mount your SSH keys, dotfiles, and configurations from the host. Your personal setup follows you into the container.

Comes with popular VS Code extensions for code formatting, linting, Git integration, and more. Customize as needed.

Uses pre-built images for quick container startup. From fresh OS to coding in minutes, not hours.

Start services on-demand using Docker Compose profiles. All services run in isolated containers and can communicate with your dev container.

Full-featured PostgreSQL database with persistent data storage.

In-memory data structure store for caching and sessions.

Document-oriented NoSQL database for flexible data storage.

S3-compatible object storage for file uploads and backups.

Run large language models locally for AI development.

Use DevMagic as a standalone environment, embed it in your projects, or use it to develop DevMagic itself. One tool, multiple workflows.

Edit the devcontainer.json to change base images, add tools, modify settings. Fork it, customize it, make it yours.

Apache 2.0 licensed. Transparent, community-driven, and free forever. No vendor lock-in, no hidden costs.

Pin to specific versions via git tags for reproducible environments. Perfect for teams and production workflows.

Set up your portable development environment in minutes. No complex configuration, no dependency hell, just a clean, consistent workspace.
