A single-file shell script that installs Zsh, Oh My Zsh, themes, and plugins inside Docker containers with one line in a Dockerfile. It supports Alpine, Ubuntu, Debian, Amazon Linux, RockyLinux, and Fedora base images and was originally built for VSCode Remote Containers.

Use cases

• set up zsh and oh-my-zsh in a dockerfile with one line
• configure a dev container with powerlevel10k theme
• install oh-my-zsh plugins in a docker image
• make vscode remote containers use zsh
• customize .zshrc in a container build
• install zsh on alpine or fedora docker images

When to choose

• you want zsh and oh-my-zsh in a Docker image without writing installation logic yourself
• you use VSCode dev containers and want a nice shell out of the box
• you need a script that works across many Linux base images

When to avoid

• you don't use containers or want zsh on a host machine
• you need a full dotfiles management solution
• you require non-interactive shell environments without zsh
