Sprites base image

is it possible to create a sprite from a different base image? i have my preferred development tools, dotfiles, etc baked into a docker image hosted on ghcr and would like new sprites to start with that.

Looking from the outside, I doubt it (at least as an immediate feature). I suspect a lot of the speed comes from them having a set base image. Additionally, if you check out your /.sprite directory and perhaps /.sprite/docs you’ll see a lot of clues that the base image includes some very specific things to make the whole experience work.

Right now you can’t use a custom base image. But we’re looking into the idea of forking from a sprite, so you’ll be able to build up your base, then fork off of it.

cool that should work. sounds like i need a bash script to set up (and sync up) my dev env. and then i don’t need to worry about OCI containers here.

would it be possible to support Ubuntu LTS (24:04)? :slight_smile:

I’m using playwright for automated tests and it doesn’t support 25:04 and I’d like to avoid setting everything up manually :sweat_smile:
