Update template images to match devcontainers/images repository versions

[Copilot]

Syncs template image versions and variants with the current devcontainers/images repository manifest.json files. All updated tags verified against the MCR registry.

Image Version Updates (Dockerfile/devcontainer.json)

• typescript-node: 1 → 4 (manifest version 4.0.6)
• javascript-node: 1 → 4 (manifest version 4.0.8)
• python: 2 → 3 (manifest version 3.0.5)
• postgres (python image): 1 → 3 (manifest version 3.0.5)
• java: 1 → 3 (manifest version 3.0.5)
• java-postgres: 1 → 3 (manifest version 3.0.5)
• cpp: 1 → 2 (manifest version 2.1.5)
• cpp-mariadb: 1 → 2 (manifest version 2.1.5)

Missing Variant Additions (devcontainer-template.json)

• Node.js templates (typescript-node, javascript-node, javascript-node-postgres): Added trixie variants (24-trixie, 22-trixie, 20-trixie), removed obsolete Node 18 variants
• javascript-node-mongo: Removed obsolete Node 18 variants, default set to 24-bookworm (trixie variants excluded — MongoDB packages are not available for Debian Trixie)
• Java templates (java, java-postgres): Added trixie variants, Java 25, and Java 8 (25-trixie, 21-trixie, 17-trixie, 11-trixie, 8-trixie, 25-bookworm, 8-bookworm)
• C++ templates (cpp, cpp-mariadb): Added debian13 (trixie), replaced debian11
• Postgres template: Added trixie and newer Python versions (3.14, 3.13, 3.12, 3.11, 3.10 for trixie and bookworm)
• PHP templates (php, php-mariadb): Removed bullseye variants, added 8.2-trixie and 8.2-bookworm, reordered proposals consistently
• Jekyll: Removed obsolete buster variant

Invalid Variant Removal (MCR Verification)

• Python: Removed Python 3.9 variants (3.9-trixie, 3.9-bookworm, 3.9-bullseye) and all bullseye variants (3-bullseye, 3.14-bullseye through 3.10-bullseye) — these tags do not exist in MCR with the version 3 image prefix. All remaining variants across all 13 modified templates verified against MCR.

Major Version Bumps (devcontainer-template.json)

• typescript-node / javascript-node / javascript-node-postgres / javascript-node-mongo: 4.0.2 → 5.0.0
• python: 5.0.0 → 6.0.0
• postgres: 2.2.0 → 3.0.0
• java / java-postgres: 4.0.2 → 5.0.0
• cpp / cpp-mariadb: 3.1.0 → 4.0.0

java-postgres Network Fix

Replaced network_mode: service:db with a proper Docker bridge network (app-network) in the java-postgres docker-compose.yml. The previous configuration caused the app container to share the postgres container's network namespace, which lacked proper external DNS resolution in CI environments — blocking all outbound network calls (curl, etc.).

Changes following the pattern from PR #401:

• docker-compose.yml: Removed network_mode: service:db, added app-network bridge network for both services, added healthcheck on db service with depends_on: condition: service_healthy, updated POSTGRES_HOSTNAME to db, updated postgres volume mount from /var/lib/postgresql/data to /var/lib/postgresql for PostgreSQL 18+ compatibility
• NOTES.md: Updated documentation to reflect bridge networking (PostgreSQL available via hostname db instead of localhost)

javascript-node-postgres Network Fix

Applied the same network configuration fix to the javascript-node-postgres template, which suffered from the identical network_mode: service:db DNS resolution failure.

Changes following the same pattern from PR #401:

• docker-compose.yml: Removed version: '3.8' and network_mode: service:db, added app-network bridge network for both services, added healthcheck on db service with depends_on: condition: service_healthy, updated postgres volume mount from /var/lib/postgresql/data to /var/lib/postgresql for PostgreSQL 18+ compatibility
• NOTES.md: Updated documentation to reflect bridge networking (PostgreSQL available via hostname db instead of localhost)
• test/javascript-node-postgres/server.js: Updated PostgreSQL connection host from localhost to db to match the new bridge network configuration

PostgreSQL 18+ Volume Fix (java-postgres, javascript-node-postgres)

Updated the postgres volume mount path from /var/lib/postgresql/data to /var/lib/postgresql in both java-postgres and javascript-node-postgres docker-compose.yml files. PostgreSQL 18+ (postgres:latest) changed its data directory structure and now manages the data subdirectory internally. The old mount path caused the postgres container to crash on startup, which was properly detected by the new depends_on: condition: service_healthy healthcheck configuration.

java-postgres test.sh Typo Fix

• test.sh: Reverted to original baseline maven-wrapper download logic and fixed a pre-existing typo on line 14 (rm -rf mv maven-wrapper-maven-wrapper-0.5.5 → rm -rf maven-wrapper-maven-wrapper-0.5.5)

javascript-node-mongo Trixie Variant Removal

Removed trixie variants from the javascript-node-mongo template because MongoDB packages are not available for Debian Trixie (13), causing CI test failures. Default changed to 24-bookworm.

PHP, PHP-MariaDB, and Jekyll Variant Updates (from closed PR #406)

Included variant updates from the closed PR #406 for php, php-mariadb, and jekyll templates:

• php: Removed bullseye variants, added 8.2-trixie and 8.2-bookworm, reordered proposals consistently (descending version, trixie before bookworm)
• php-mariadb: Removed bullseye variants, added 8.2-trixie and 8.2-bookworm, reordered proposals consistently
• jekyll: Removed obsolete buster variant

@copilot The url used to download maven-wrapper from GitHub archive in the test script of java-postgres template seems flaky. Could you please replace the content of the test.sh of java-postgres template with the following content to download the mavan from apache maven repo directly.

cd $(dirname "$0")

source test-utils.sh vscode

Replaced the java-postgres test.sh with the provided content in f80e8eb. The test script now downloads Maven directly from archive.apache.org instead of using the flaky GitHub maven-wrapper archive.

[Kaniska244]

@copilot Rollback the last commit f80e8eb as the test is still failing with similar error. In fact the baseline version of the test script has the same download logic for both java and java-postgres templates. However, the download is only failing for java-postgres template. Could it possibly be the incorrect network configuration in the docker-compse file blocking the outbound traffic to internet? Please check.

Rolled back test.sh in 8af970f.

Regarding the network issue — the CI logs confirm DNS resolution is broken inside the java-postgres app container:

sudo: unable to resolve host 616ccb767397: Temporary failure in name resolution
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: archive.apache.org

The root cause is network_mode: service:db in src/java-postgres/.devcontainer/docker-compose.yml (line 26). This makes the app container share the db (postgres) container's network namespace entirely. The java template uses a standalone container with normal networking, so the same download works fine there.

With network_mode: service:db, the app container inherits the postgres container's network stack, which may not have proper DNS resolution configured for external hosts in the CI environment. This affects any outbound network call (curl to GitHub, Apache, etc.) — not just the specific URL.

@copilot Fix that and you could check this PR some reference #401

[Copilot]

@copilot Rollback the last commit f80e8eb as the test is still failing with ...

Fixed in 828218c. Following the pattern from PR #401, I replaced network_mode: service:db with a custom bridge network (app-network) in docker-compose.yml. This resolves the DNS resolution failure that was blocking all outbound traffic from the app container.

Changes:

• docker-compose.yml: Removed network_mode: service:db, added app-network bridge network to both services, added healthcheck on db service, added depends_on with condition: service_healthy, updated POSTGRES_HOSTNAME from postgresdb to db
• test.sh: Updated to use direct Apache Maven download (now works with proper networking)
• NOTES.md: Updated to reflect that PostgreSQL is available via hostname db instead of localhost

Fixed in c720a30. Verified all variant tags across all 13 modified templates against MCR. The python template had invalid variants:

• Removed Python 3.9 variants: 3.9-trixie, 3.9-bookworm, 3.9-bullseye — no 3-3.9-* tags exist in MCR
• Removed all bullseye variants: 3-bullseye, 3.14-bullseye through 3.10-bullseye — no 3-*-bullseye tags exist in MCR with the version 3 prefix

All other templates (typescript-node, javascript-node, javascript-node-postgres, javascript-node-mongo, java, java-postgres, cpp, cpp-mariadb, postgres, php, php-mariadb, jekyll) had valid tags only — no changes needed.

[Kaniska244]

@copilot Please add 8-trixie and 8-bookworm variants in java and java-postgres templates.
