claude-container

Claude Container provides an isolated Docker environment for Claude Code, enabling secure execution with persistent credentials and workspace access. Operations teams can deploy Claude Code in a controlled setting, ensuring compatibility and security while maintaining access to necessary resources.

[{"step":"Define your project requirements. List the tools (e.g., AWS CLI, Node.js, Python), network resources (e.g., internal APIs, databases), and credentials (e.g., AWS, GitHub) needed for your workflow.","tip":"Use the official `claudeai/claude-container` image from Docker Hub for compatibility. Check the image tags for specific versions if required."},{"step":"Run the container with the appropriate Docker command. Customize the `-v` flags to mount your local workspace and credential files, and use `--env` to pass required environment variables.","tip":"For sensitive credentials, use read-only (`:ro`) mounts to prevent accidental modifications inside the container."},{"step":"Verify the setup by running test commands inside the container. Check connectivity to network resources and validate credential access.","tip":"Use `docker exec` to run commands in the container without restarting it. For example: `docker exec claude-container-name aws sts get-caller-identity`."},{"step":"Interact with the project using Claude Code. Use the `/workspace` path to reference files in your mounted volume.","tip":"If you need to install additional tools, run `apt-get update && apt-get install -y [TOOL]` inside the container. Persist these changes by committing the container or using a custom Dockerfile."},{"step":"Persist the container state. Use `docker commit` to save changes or mount a Docker volume for long-term storage of credentials and workspace state.","tip":"For team collaboration, share the Docker command and setup instructions in your project's README. Ensure sensitive credentials are managed via secrets management tools (e.g., AWS Secrets Manager)."}]
