slirp4netns VS gitpod

History likes to repeat itself:

https://github.com/rootless-containers/slirp4netns

It should not actually require root anymore - see https://github.com/rootless-containers/slirp4netns

USER root RUN curl -o /var/lib/apt/dazzle-marks/docker.gpg -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg \ && apt-key add /var/lib/apt/dazzle-marks/docker.gpg \ && add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable" \ && install-packages docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io RUN curl -o /usr/bin/slirp4netns -fsSL https://github.com/rootless-containers/slirp4netns/releases/download/v1.1.12/slirp4netns-$(uname -m) \ && chmod +x /usr/bin/slirp4netns

Podman pods are kind of their own thing, networking wise, being under slirp4netns https://github.com/rootless-containers/slirp4netns

i foud this slirp4netns in the meantime as well. There are a bunch of other problems. with podman. I cannot use nftables and firewalld with systemd+nftables, the mentioned port-"problem" for rootless podman, ipv6 containers and some other stuff that isn't working or very config-heavy. i found a lot of github issues that are actively discussed in the past days regarding some of the mentioned topics on this post. My conclusion is that i will still use docker and will look into this in a year or so... to early imo to really switch to podman because almost no benefits to docker for me. (i want ipv6, rootless containers all the way and full nftable support)

This is very interesting but if I read correctly OP’s question they probably mean something like Gitpod/GitHub Codespaces where the IDE is running “somewhere else” and is accessible via browser.

Before we begin the siege of the RPC we need to ensure our system is configured for building Soroban smart contracts. You have two clear options. The first is to use a virtual environment like Gitpod or Codespaces which can have everything pre-installed and configured for you. In fact here's a good hello-world Gitpod VM we've built for you.

GitPod can integrate with a range of Git repo hosts and supports a number of popular IDEs, not just VS Code. The Starter account gives you 50 hrs free per month.
