# CLAUDE.md # CLAUDE.md
This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository. Instructions for Claude Code when working on this repository.
## Development Container Setup ## Project Overview
This repository is configured with a secure development container based on Anthropic's reference devcontainer setup. The container provides: This is a secure devcontainer configuration for running Claude Code in a sandboxed environment with network restrictions.
- **Isolated environment**: Containerized Claude Code CLI with firewall restrictions ## Key Files
- **Security features**: Network access limited to whitelisted domains (GitHub, npm, Anthropic APIs, etc.)
- **Pre-configured tools**: Node.js 20, Claude Code CLI, git-delta, zsh with powerline10k, fzf, and more
- **Persistent storage**: Volumes for bash history and Claude configuration
### Opening in DevContainer
**Option 1: Using run-container.sh script (easiest for non-interactive usage)**
The repository includes a helper script for running Claude Code non-interactively:
```bash
# Make the script executable (first time only)
chmod +x run-container.sh
# Run with a prompt
./run-container.sh "explain the fibonacci sequence"
# Run with stdin
echo "create a hello world function in Python" | ./run-container.sh
# Analyze a file
./run-container.sh "explain this code" < myfile.js
```
The script automatically:
- Builds the Docker image if needed
- Creates persistent volumes for history and config
- Initializes the firewall
- Runs claude with streaming output and --dangerously-skip-permissions
- Cleans up the container after execution
**Option 2: Using devcontainer CLI (recommended for interactive development)**
Install the devcontainer CLI:
```bash
npm install -g @devcontainers/cli
```
Build and run the container:
```bash
# Build the container
devcontainer build --workspace-folder .
# Run the container and execute a command
devcontainer exec --workspace-folder . claude -p "your prompt" --dangerously-skip-permissions
# Or open an interactive shell
devcontainer exec --workspace-folder . zsh
```
**Option 3: Using Docker directly**
Build and run manually:
```bash
# Build the image
docker build -t claude-dev-container .devcontainer
# Create volumes for persistence
docker volume create claude-code-bashhistory
docker volume create claude-code-config
# Run interactively
docker run -it --rm \
--cap-add=NET_ADMIN \
--cap-add=NET_RAW \
-v "$(pwd):/workspace" \
-v claude-code-bashhistory:/commandhistory \
-v claude-code-config:/home/node/.claude \
-e NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=4096" \
-e CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR="/home/node/.claude" \
-w /workspace \
--user node \
claude-dev-container zsh
# Inside the container, initialize the firewall:
sudo /usr/local/bin/init-firewall.sh
# Then use Claude Code:
claude -p "your prompt" --dangerously-skip-permissions
```
**Option 4: VS Code**
1. Install the "Dev Containers" extension
2. Open this repository in VS Code
3. When prompted, click "Reopen in Container" (or use Command Palette: "Dev Containers: Reopen in Container")
4. Wait for the container to build and the firewall to initialize
**First-time setup:**
- You'll need to authenticate Claude Code on first use
- Run `claude` in the container terminal and follow the authentication prompts
### Running Claude Code Non-Interactively
The devcontainer's firewall allows running Claude Code with `--dangerously-skip-permissions` for non-interactive operation:
```bash
# Stream output in non-interactive mode
claude -p "your prompt here" --dangerously-skip-permissions
# Example: Analyze a file
claude -p "explain this code" --dangerously-skip-permissions < myfile.js
# Example: Generate code with streaming output
echo "create a fibonacci function" | claude -p --dangerously-skip-permissions
```
**Security notes:**
- The `--dangerously-skip-permissions` flag bypasses permission prompts
- This is safe within the devcontainer due to firewall restrictions
- Network access is limited to: GitHub, npm registry, Anthropic APIs, VS Code services
- All other outbound connections are blocked
### Container Configuration Files
- `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json` - Container and VS Code configuration - `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json` - Container and VS Code configuration
- `.devcontainer/Dockerfile` - Container image definition - `.devcontainer/Dockerfile` - Container image definition
- `.devcontainer/init-firewall.sh` - Network security rules (runs on container start) - `.devcontainer/init-firewall.sh` - Network security rules (iptables whitelist)
- `run-container.sh` - Helper script for non-interactive usage
### Environment Setup (Outside Container) ## Development
This repository uses [mise](https://mise.jdx.dev/) for tool version management. Uses [mise](https://mise.jdx.dev/) for tool versioning. Run `mise install` to set up Node.js 24.
- Node.js version: 24 (configured in `mise.toml`) ## Security Model
- Install tools: `mise install`
The container uses iptables to whitelist only essential domains (GitHub, npm, Anthropic APIs, VS Code services). This allows safe use of `--dangerously-skip-permissions`.

# Claude Code Devcontainer
A secure, sandboxed development container for running Claude Code with network restrictions.
## Quick Start
### Option 1: VS Code (Interactive)
1. Copy the `.devcontainer/` folder to your project root
2. Open your project in VS Code
3. Press `Ctrl+Shift+P` → "Dev Containers: Reopen in Container"
4. Run `claude` in the terminal to authenticate and start
### Option 2: Command Line (Non-Interactive)
Copy both `.devcontainer/` and `run-container.sh` to your project, then:
```bash
# Make executable (first time only)
chmod +x run-container.sh
# Run with a prompt
./run-container.sh "explain the fibonacci sequence"
# Pipe input
echo "write a hello world function" | ./run-container.sh
# Analyze a file
./run-container.sh "explain this code" < myfile.js
# Interactive mode (no prompt)
./run-container.sh
```
## Requirements
- Docker
- VS Code with [Dev Containers extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers) (for Option 1)
## Security
The container runs with a firewall that only allows connections to:
- GitHub
- npm registry
- Anthropic APIs
- VS Code services
All other outbound traffic is blocked, making it safe to use `--dangerously-skip-permissions`.
