Devcontainer Management

When starting a session or performing tasks requiring the runtime environment, you must identify and use the active development container.

Finding the Container

Run docker ps to list running containers. Look for an image name containing vsc-netalertx or similar.

bash

docker ps --format "table {{.ID}}\t{{.Image}}\t{{.Status}}\t{{.Names}}" | grep netalertx

•If no container is found: Inform the user. You cannot run integration tests or backend logic without it.
•If multiple containers are found: Ask the user to clarify which one to use (e.g., provide the Container ID).

Running Commands in the Container

Prefix commands with docker exec <CONTAINER_ID> to run them inside the environment. Use the scripts in /services/ to control backend and other processes.

bash

docker exec <CONTAINER_ID> bash /workspaces/NetAlertX/.devcontainer/scripts/setup.sh

Note: This script wipes /tmp ramdisks, resets DBs, and restarts services (python server, cron,php-fpm, nginx).
