0.13.0

What's new in this release

0.13.0 is a major release, with several enhancements to improve the Python development experience with Devbox.

[Python] Autopatching Native Libraries

This release includes an experimental feature that automatically patches Python interpreters to load native libraries installed in your Devbox Shell, without needing to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This makes it easier to create Devbox shells for projects with Python Packages that use native extensions. Additionally, Devbox will automatically install native libraries that are commonly used by Python packages, such as zlib and openssl. This feature can be disabled with devbox add <python-package> --patch never

This release automatically enables patching for Python interepreters, but it can be enabled for any package (such as Ruby) using devbox add <pkg> --patch always.

[Python] Plugin + Virtual Environment improvements

When you launch Python, our plugin now defaults to putting your virtual environment in $DEVBOX_PROJECT_ROOT/.venv. This provides better compatibility with IDEs and Language Extensions that expect Python to be in your project root. The plugin also sets a UV_PYTHON environment variable to improve compatibility with the uv package manager.

You can manage where Devbox sets up your .venv directory by setting the $VENV_DIR environment variable in your devbox.json.

Special thanks to @djgoku for contributing fixes to this feature!

[Services] devbox services attach and better backgrounding

Starting Devbox services in the background with devbox services up -b now runs process-compose as a detached process in the background, meaning it will stay alive even if your terminal exits or crashes. You can attach the process-compose TUI to the backgrounded process with devbox services attach, and exiting the TUI will leave process-compose running in the background.

To stop the backgrounded process, you can use devbox services stop.

This release also upgrades the default process-compose to 1.24.2, which has several reliability and performance improvements.

Other Features

  • Devbox can now automatically parse and add secrets from your dotenv files. To have Devbox load your dotenv files automatically, add the dotenv file to env_from in your devbox.json
  • Devbox now includes a builtin plugins for Valkey, a drop-in Redis Replacement. Special thanks to @captainseeker for contributing!
  • Added a DEVBOX_WD environment variable that maps to the working directory where you ran a script. This variable is useful if you want to run scripts that act on your current working directory, instead of the Devbox project's root directory
  • Devbox's direnv integration now watched devbox.lock for changes, and updates your environment. Thanks to @mjgallag for contributing!
  • Added missing/required properties to the devbox-plugin-schema.json. Thanks to @svallory for contributing!

[Python] Plugin will now create .venv in your project root by default

When you launch Python, our plugin now defaults to putting your virtual environment in $DEVBOX_PROJECT_ROOT/.venv. This provides better compatibility with IDEs and Language Extensions that expect Python to be in your project root.

You can manage where Devbox sets up your .venv directory by setting the $VENV_DIR environment variable in your devbox.json

Other Fixes

  • Devbox now automatically installs common native libraries used by Python on Darwin.

This makes it easier to create Devbox shells for projects with Python Packages that use native extensions. Additionally, Devbox will automatically install native libraries that are commonly used by Python packages, such as zlib and openssl.

Other new Features

  • Devbox can now automatically parse and add secrets from your dotenv files. To have Devbox load your dotenv files automatically, add the dotenv file to from_env in your devbox.json
  • Added a builtin plugins for Valkey, a drop-in Redis Replacement
  • Added a DEVBOX_WD environment variable that maps to the working directory where you ran a script. This variable is useful if you want to run scripts that act on your current working directory, instead of the Devbox project's root directory

What's new in this Release

Devbox Run Improvements

devbox run will no longer re-run init_hooks or attempt to recreate the shell environment if it is already running in a devbox shell environment. Implications of this change are:

  • If you start a shell, and then run a script with devbox run, the script will not re-run the init_hook or recreate the environment
  • If you run a devbox script inside another devbox script, the init_hook and shell setup will only happen once.

Devbox Global Improvements

Devbox Global has been updated to no longer set Nix environment variables or stdenv packages in your global path. This provides a cleaner environment for your Devbox packages, without interfering with the tooling installed on your host

  • Previous versions of Devbox Global would set it's own versions of packages like gcc, ld, and clang at the top of your global path, which could break system build tools. This version will no longer set those packages in your path
  • Previous versions of Devbox Global would set variables like PYTHONPATH, which could override and cause issues with your host Python interpreter or other Python based binaries. This version will no longer set those variables
  • Note: This change may cause certain libraries or packages to stop working with Devbox Global. If you need these packages to continue working, you can add --omit-nix-env=false to the invocation in your shellrc: 
     eval "$(devbox global shellenv --init_hooks --omit-nix-env=false)"

devbox cache enable

You can now enable the Jetify Prebuilt Cache right from command line by running devbox cache enable. Running this command will let you login or create a free Jetify Cloud account from your browser, and then configure Nix on your system to use the cache.

What's Changed

  • [docker] fix docker release image by @mohsenari in #2136
  • [Remove Nixpkgs] remove feature flag by @savil in #2142
  • [RFC][Devbox] computeEnv: remove __ETC_PROFILE_NIX_SOURCED=1 by @savil in #2147

  • [devbox] run: skip re-computing Devbox State if in devbox shell by @savil in #2144

  • [easy][lock-tidy] Don't tidy flakes by @mikeland73 in #2162
  • Bump braces from 3.0.2 to 3.0.3 in /docs/app by @dependabot in #2163
  • [devbox global] add --omit-nix-env flag for shellenv/shell/run commands by @savil in #2150
  • [Devbox] introduce devopt.EnvOptions by @savil in #2159
  • [Devbox services] move functions to services.go, and improve runDevboxServicesScript by @savil in #2164
  • boxcli: devbox cache enable by @gcurtis in #2157

  • Previous versions of Devbox Global would set it's own versions of packages like gcc, ld, and clang at the top of your global path, which could break system build tools. This version will no longer set those packages in your path

Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug where Devbox was improperly trying to tidy the lockfile for flakes.

What's new in this pre-release

devbox cache support in the CLI

Version 0.11 of devbox and newer can now use Devbox Cache when logged in with a Jetify Cloud account. Jetify Cache includes a private cache for your own custom packages and flakes, as well as a Prebuilt Cache that expands on the public Nix Cache.

Visit our docs to learn more about how to setup a cache with Jetify Cloud. You can also view the CLI cache commands using devbox cache --help

Startup Performance:

  1. Devbox can now detect if your project is missing store paths, and then prompt you to backfill them. This speeds up package installation by letting us pull packages directly from the cache.
    • To update your storepaths, run devbox install --tidy-lockfile
  2. All packages are installed in a single Nix command, rather than sequentially in individual Nix commands

Process Compose

  1. Added a new --pcflags option so you can pass flags directly to Process Compose when starting your services. For example:
    • You can run a namespace using `devbox services up --pcflags "-n=my-namespace"
    • You can change the process-compose servers port using `devbox services up --pcflags "-p=3003"
  2. Process compose is now installed via Nixpkgs, meaning we can take advantage of caching

Other fixes

  1. Added an optional name + description field to the devbox.json schema
  2. Updates to docs and error commands
