on YouTube ↗32m

" summary

Generates a React UI and optional Go VM backend packed as a Docker image using the CLI and Makefile, with a multi‑stage Dockerfile and a metadata.json for labels and marketplace preview. Commands shown: docker extension init to scaffold, make build-extension to build the image, docker extension install / docker extension update to deploy locally, and docker extension ui source plus npm start for hot reload and docker extension dev debug to open Chrome DevTools. Frontend calls backend over a socket, can run docker commands (example: docker info -> JSON), post toasts, navigate Desktop, and expose hidden extension containers and logs.
