0.5.13

What's new in this Release

• Fixes an issue with triggering a nix install even for commands that don't require it, like devbox version

0.5.12

What's New in This Release

Platform Specific Packages

• Users can now add packages to their devbox.json that will only install on specific platforms. This is useful when you need to install specific packages on Linux or macOS that are not compatible with different platforms.
  • To only install a package on a specific platform, you can use devbox add <package> --platform <platforms>. For example: devbox add busybox --platform x86_64-linux,aarch64-linux will add busybox to your devbox.json, but only install it on Linux Platforms
  • To prevent devbox from installing on a specific platform, you can use devbox add <package> --exclude-platform <platforms>
• Note: Specifying platforms for packages will alter your devbox.json in a way that is only compatible with Devbox 0.5.12 and newer. You can update Devbox using devbox version update

Customize the NGINX Plugin with Environment Variables

• Our NGINX plugin now installs and uses envsubst so that developers can manage and customize their nginx.conf file with environment variables. This is similar to how NGINX docker containers work.

Public Docker Image for Devbox

• We now publish an official Docker image for Devbox at jetpackio/devbox. You can use this image to run Devbox in CI/CD, or to test Devbox without installing Nix locally
• We've also updated devbox generate dockerfile|devcontainer to use this public image, which should simplify and speed up local image builds

devbox info Improvements

• devbox info now shows the summary information for packages, along with any plugins that are available for the package.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

• Devbox will now skip version checks for commands like devbox log
• Fixed a permissions issue that could affect the .devbox folder when switching between using Devbox locally and in a Docker container
• Improved performance for devbox run by skipping binwrapper generation
• Added checks to ensure plugin packages are added to nix profile
• Fixed a bug for nix profile list that affected packages added by store path

New in this Release

.env Support

• You can now add custom environment variables, or load variables from a .env file, using the --env and --env-file flags. Variables loaded from the command line or a .env file will override the variables set by plugins, or in your devbox.json
• Supported commands include shell, run, services, global run, and global services. For more information, see our CLI reference
• Direnv users can add --env or --env-files to your .envrc file, so that they automatically load whenever you CD into your directory. This can be useful if you always want to override your environment variables using a .env file. For more details, see our Direnv Guide

Simpler Devbox Run UX

• devbox run can now run commands with flags directly without a -- separator
• To run a command with flags, run devbox run ls -l
• If you need to pass a flag to devbox run, pass it before your command (e.g., devbox run -c path/to/devbox.json ls -l)
• For more information, see our Scripts guide
