I looked into our docs where this would probably fit best.
IMHO, the place to put it would be
https://next.openhab.org/docs/developer/#setup-the-development-environment
where a also found an issue we could improve: if you click on one of the IDEs, ie. VSCODE it forwards you to
which could never be reached nor found via the menu on the left.
With the new submenu option like in
we should add these as well first:
I would then first provide a PR for that. WDYT?
During the work on the
huesync
binding I learned that it is very convenient to use a docker container with a openHAB instance to debug the binding you're working on.This allows you to work on a development machine without the need to install openHAB directly on it (I do not want/need it on that device). It also allows you to work next to a productive instance and/or update/reset/change the server environment easely.
The setup is simple - but still requires some knowledge - therefore I propose to add information about this possibility and how to set it up to VSCode.
I could update the documentation during my work on the binding if you would like to have this. @stefan-hoehn ➡️ In that case you can assign this issue to me.
