This is going to be easier than I thought!

@coretl I just found this and it looks promising

coretl commented 11 months ago

Do we use any of the extras for the dev container? Or would a few docker/podman commands in the readme be sufficient?

gilesknap commented 11 months ago

@coretl the devcontainer.json specifies a bunch of host mounts, some environment variables and some command line options for podman.

This allows us to maintain those in a single place and be nice and DRY.

coretl commented 11 months ago

fair enough, should we also run CI using this too?

gilesknap commented 11 months ago

Where CI does run up a generic IOC container it does not run it as a devcontainer. It will run the runtime mode and use an ec command to do so - therefore we don't need this for CI (thankfully)
