Using postStartCommand instead of postCreateCommand #15

Closed jaredlander closed 2 months ago

Since we want radian to launch every time the container is run, not just after creation, use postStartCommand instead of postCreateCommand.

I've been playing around and depending on the size of the image there can be problems with this command not finding the .R files the R extension adds to the workspace. I find that these modifications work, though I haven't made a PR for it yet.

"postStartCommand": "until [ -f /root/.vscode-R/init.R ]; do sleep 0.1; done; radian",                                                  "containerEnv": {
  "R_PROFILE_USER": "/root/.Rprofile",
  "TERM_PROGRAM": "vscode",
  "VSCODE_INIT_R": "R/session/init.R"
},

Thanks! Tested on the temlate, this fix the issue with the plot viewer. I will try to add those environment variable to the base image.

I updated the Dockerfile on the GitHub template, works smoothly so far. I will update the tutorial in the coming weeks. Thanks!
