Very basic devcontainer template for microsoft remote-containers.
This is template for any your devcontainer (remote-containers) project. It is based on ubuntu docker image, but you can adapt the approach to any linux distro.
- Install vscode remote-containers extension
- Clone this repository to some directory
- (OPTIONAL!) Execute $
git checkout shortso you dont have to remove all comments, docs and other, quickstart. - Remove .git directory from cloned directory
- Execute $
docker-compose up -d - Start vscode in cloned directory
- You should see next popup:
- Just click "Reopen in Container".
Click that green button in bottom left corner and you will see next menu:
And just press Enter (on reopen in container menu element). You should see terminal poping up 
Then bottom left of vscode should display remote-containers extension is active.
I tried remote-containers extension and didn't like standard templates:
- There's bunch of bash code i didn't need
- It depends on container created by microsoft (what is in? why is it different from base image?)
- It is more oriented on pure docker than docker-compose
So i spent some time making minimal but comfortable version of microsoft template.
Tested on linux nixos distro, probably works on most linux distros.
Not tested on windows and macos and probably just not working. If you manage to add support for windows or macos !without! breaking anything on linux, please send me pull request.
