devcontainer + Wagtail demo project

This is a demonstration project for using devcontainers with a non-trivial project based on the Wagtail CMS.

Setup

To get started:

1. Install docker
2. Install Visual Studio Code and the devcontainer extension
3. Checkout this repository: git clone https://github.com/gregmuellegger/devcontainers-bakerydemo.git
4. Open the folder with VS Code: code ./devcontainers-bakerydemo

Once VS Code started, it will offer you to "Reopen in Container".

After building the images, you need to run the following commands for initial setup:

python manage.py migrate
python manage.py load_initial_data

Now you are ready to run the server. Either execute or python manage.py runserver in the commandline, or press F5 to run the server from within VS Code's debugger.
