This is going to be a gradual process, I tried launching the VSCode extension via the devcontainer.... and nothing worked! :man_facepalming: There's obviously more to using devcontainers than just building an image with the right set of tools in it.
However, having some common tasks automated is a good start! :)
This is an initial attempt at moving to a standardised development environment based on a devcontainer. The container itself is nothing special - just a Ubuntu container that provides a known starting point.
The rest is then built up using a series of
Makefile
definitions, so assuming you have access tomake
,curl
,tar
and maybe a few other standard utilities it should be possible to rely on just the Makefiles - but I can't guarantee that.Running
make watch
, from thecode/
folder should be enough to bootstrap the environment needed to work on the VSCode extension
