Run locally from a docker container on a dev machine/build server

[gregoryca]

I've been able to create an docker image, and run a docker container using a docker-compose file.

How can Intellectify hook in to my local dev enviroment ? Do i need to give it access to my local file-system where my projects are saved so it can read the files, or is it better to run my dev-environment from within for example code server with Intellectify intergration ?

(both in a new image while combining them)

Hi @gregoryca , You don't have to provide any access to your project folders/flies to intellectify, it's a plugin that will be attached to your vs-code environment hence it will automatically have access to all the files you opened in the vs-code window.

For that, you just need to run this extension in the development mode, open the extension.js file and press F5, this will run the local server for the intellectify, and a new window of the vs-code will get open where this extension will be by-default installed, now whatever folder/project you open in this new vs-code window will have access to the intellectify's feature.

As far as you will be able to shift this newly opened vs-code window from one image to another, you will be able to access intellectify's feature in different docker images.

Universal solution (Alternative): Just host this extension on the vs-code marketplace, and install it in your vs-code

Hope it cleared your issue!

Thank you very much for your quick answer. I think i made a mistake in my Dockerfile, since i'm using the server.js file, instead of the extension.js. (was too quick in creating the dockerfile)

Your second option would be a better universal solution to make it available to everyone. Again thank you very much for your time, and the code offcoarse ! i can create fork with the docker image/compose file so you can maybe intergrate it.
