Workspace setup

You've seen Dagger work on hello-dagger. Now set it up on your own project.

Install modules

The quickest path is the same one the quickstart uses — dagger setup scans your project and recommends suitable modules:

dagger setup

Prefer to pick them yourself? Search for modules matching the tools, frameworks, and languages you use, and install them directly:

dagger search eslint
dagger install github.com/dagger/eslint

The first install creates dagger.toml at the workspace root. To create it in the current directory instead — for a workspace nested inside a larger repository — pass --here:

dagger install --here github.com/dagger/eslint

Install a module, run dagger check, repeat. You don't have to install everything at once:

dagger install github.com/dagger/vitest
dagger check

Configure modules

Many modules expose settings — a base image, a package manager, and so on. List the settings for your installed modules:

dagger settings

Set one with module, key, and value:

dagger settings eslint packageManager yarn

Settings are stored in dagger.toml alongside each module, so they're shared with everyone who uses the workspace.
