Container Images for Codespaces Devcontainers

Initial setup

• Edit environment.yml appropriately
• Add GitHub Actions workflow to set up autobuild
• Authorise actions at org level:
  • Actions > General > Workflow permissions > Read and write
• Authorise public packages at org level:
  • Packages > Package creation > tick Public
• Authorise actions at repo level:
  • Actions > General > Workflow permissions > Read and write
• Change package visibility to Public:
  • Navigate to package, then Package settings > Change visibility > Public
• Make repo public (?)

Create a new container with a different env

To create a new container with a modified conda env:

• Create a new branch (the branch name will become the container image tag later).
• Edit the environment.yml file to adjust to the new conda env.
• In the workshop/tutorial/etc modify .devcontainer/devcontainer.json, changing the value associated to "image" to ghcr.io/org-name/this-repo:<branch-name>
