I’m not on an M1 Mac, but this works well for me: https://github.com/devrt/ros-devcontainer-vscode

Jess does some awesome stuff and this is literally what you asked for. hollywood

Some of my day-to-day software.

After knowing that saved Chrome passwords and cookies in Linux are not protected against malicious dependencies in our development environment or other apps in our system, I decided to run my core apps in Docker containers, where their data is not accessible without sudo, and a personal understanding of where stuff is being saved.

These docker containers are also an improved version of https://github.com/jessfraz/dockerfiles/

Contrary to the project above, docker-workspaces runs Chrome in a sandbox, encrypts keys with the help of an also dockerized gnome-keychain, and works in tandem with pulseaudio, so you can use wired headphones (i still need to add some dependencies for it to work with bluetooth headphones).

Thank you. As someone who uses containers a lot (even to run local programs, shout out to https://blog.jessfraz.com/post/docker-containers-on-the-desk...) this makes some sense to me.

I'm a little way into the Nix Pills document (https://nixos.org/guides/nix-pills/why-you-should-give-it-a-...) which seems to start the explanation from a place where I can understand.
