MultiversX devcontainer templates to be used in VSCode or GitHub Codespaces, for Smart Contract development (others to come).
Before everything, please follow the Visual Studio Code series on dev containers:
In Visual Studio code, the following MultiversX dev containers are available:
If you'd like to use the Docker image(s) to invoke mxpy
commands and build contracts directly from a terminal, without VSCode's devcontainers feature, below are a few examples.
First, let's export some environment variables:
export IMAGE=multiversx/devcontainer-smart-contracts-rust:latest
export DOCKER_USER=$(id -u):$(id -g)
# Mandatory: run the container as the current user (should be 1000:1000), not as root.
# Suggestion: use a stateless container; remove it after use (--rm).
# Suggestion: map the current directory to "/data" in the container.
export RUN="docker run --network=host --user=${DOCKER_USER} --rm -it --volume $(pwd):/data"
Run the container and do a quick inspection:
${RUN} ${IMAGE} whoami
${RUN} ${IMAGE} mxpy --version
${RUN} ${IMAGE} cargo --version
${RUN} ${IMAGE} rustc --version
${RUN} ${IMAGE} sc-meta --version
Clone mx-contracts-rs
locally, then build a few contracts within the container:
git clone https://github.com/multiversx/mx-contracts-rs.git --single-branch --depth=1
${RUN} ${IMAGE} sc-meta all build --path /data/mx-contracts-rs/contracts/adder
stat ./mx-contracts-rs/contracts/adder/output/adder.wasm
${RUN} ${IMAGE} sc-meta all build --path /data/mx-contracts-rs/contracts/ping-pong-egld
stat ./mx-contracts-rs/contracts/ping-pong-egld/output/ping-pong-egld.wasm
Deploy a previously-built smart contract on Devnet:
${RUN} ${IMAGE} mxpy contract deploy \
--bytecode /data/mx-contracts-rs/contracts/adder/output/adder.wasm \
--arguments 0 \
--pem /home/developer/multiversx-sdk/testwallets/latest/users/alice.pem \
--recall-nonce \
--gas-limit 5000000 \
--chain D \
--proxy https://devnet-gateway.multiversx.com \
--send
Call a function of a previously-deployed smart contract:
${RUN} ${IMAGE} mxpy contract call \
erd1qqqqqqqqqqqqqpgqr3clh6ghpww5fc4uhwh2amsseuvecswzd8ssxu68s3 \
--function "add" \
--arguments 42 \
--pem /home/developer/multiversx-sdk/testwallets/latest/users/alice.pem \
--recall-nonce \
--gas-limit 5000000 \
--chain D \
--proxy https://devnet-gateway.multiversx.com \
--send
Query a smart contract:
${RUN} ${IMAGE} mxpy contract query \
erd1qqqqqqqqqqqqqpgqr3clh6ghpww5fc4uhwh2amsseuvecswzd8ssxu68s3 \
--function "getSum" \
--proxy https://devnet-gateway.multiversx.com
Setup a localnet (make sure to set the --workdir
, as well), then inspect the generated files (on the mapped volume):
${RUN} --workdir /data ${IMAGE} mxpy localnet setup
cat ./localnet.toml
tree -L 1 ./localnet
Start the localnet (make sure to publish the necessary ports; see the generated localnet.toml
):
${RUN} --workdir /data --publish 7950:7950 ${IMAGE} mxpy localnet start
You can pause the localnet by simply stopping the container, then restart it by invoking the start
command again.
In a separate terminal, inspect an endpoint of the localnet's Proxy (as a smoke test):
curl http://127.0.0.1:7950/network/config | jq

Resources:
- Create a Dev Container
- devcontainers/templates
- devcontainers/template-starter
- Public index of templates
Build the Docker images for local testing:
docker build --network=host ./resources/smart-contracts-rust -t multiversx/devcontainer-smart-contracts-rust:latest -f ./resources/smart-contracts-rust/Dockerfile
rm -rf "/tmp/test-workspace" && mkdir -p "/tmp/test-workspace" && \
cp -R "src/smart-contracts-rust/.devcontainer" "/tmp/test-workspace" && \
code "/tmp/test-workspace/"
Then, in VSCode, launch the command Dev Containers: Rebuild and Reopen in Container
, wait, then inspect the environment. For example, check version of mxpy
, rust
, sc-meta
, build the sample smart contracts, verify output of rust-analyzer
.
Locally:
docker build --network=host ./resources/smart-contracts-rust -t multiversx/devcontainer-smart-contracts-rust:latest -f ./resources/smart-contracts-rust/Dockerfile
docker push multiversx/devcontainer-smart-contracts-rust:latest
On Github, trigger the GitHub workflow(s) publish-image-*.yml
to publish the image(s). Ideally, do this on the main
branch.
Trigger the GitHub workflow publish-templates.yml
to publish the templates. Ideally, do this on the main
branch.
