Dev Container Project Template

A customizable VS Code dev container environment based on Debian 12 (Bookworm). Designed for robotics and embedded development with modular feature support.

Quick Start

1. Initialize Environment: Set your project name (required by devcontainer.json):

   export PROJECT_NAME="my-project"

2. Configure User: Sync host user permissions to the container:

   ./scripts/set_profile.bash

3. Launch: Open this folder in VS Code and run Dev Containers: Reopen in Container.

Architecture

• Core: Debian Bookworm Slim with build-essential, git, vim, and openssh-server.
• Orchestration: Uses docker-compose to mount the workspace and handle networking.
• Features: Modular install scripts located in .devcontainer/features/. Uncomment required languages (Rust, Python, C++, ROS, etc.) in .devcontainer/devcontainer.json to enable them.

Configuration

• Dockerfile: Base image setup.
• docker-compose.yaml: Defines services and volume mounts.
• devcontainer.json: VS Code settings, extensions, and feature toggles.
