I am a greener. Just ask a simple question about the toolchain in the container.

Hello 👋

And if I want to upgrade the rust version, What can I do ?

We try to keep the mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/rust:1-1-bullseye image up-to-date. However, you can install another version of rust with the Rust Feature.

Feel free to look at https://containers.dev/ for more information.

But I stiil need a cmake. How can I add the cmake?

You can use a Dockerfile instead with the following contents and point the devcontainer.json to use it (ie In your devcontainer.json file, make sure to set "dockerfile": "Dockerfile" to use the Dockerfile you just created). Read more at https://containers.dev/guide/dockerfile

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/rust:1-1-bullseye

# Install CMake
RUN apt-get update && \
    apt-get -y install cmake
