Launching dev containers from code - is impossible?
I also mentioned that I have been working on a small utility named vscli, which enables you to launch Visual Studio Code (vscode) from the command line (CLI) or a terminal user interface (TUI) like this:
-
Dev Containers: Open, Develop, Repeat...
This is why I built vscli, a vscode CLI tool to launch projects and supports Dev Containers. It is written in Rust and includes a simple terminal UI, which allows you to quick-launch your recently opened projects:
- Show HN: A CLI project tool for VSCode with devcontainer support
- VSCLI - A CLI tool to launch VSCode projects, which supports DEV Containers.
- A CLI tool to start VSCode devcontainers more easily

Show HN: Lapdev, a new open-source remote dev environment management software
You still cannot stop, remove or update a Dev container from CLI and there at numerous issues with the rest of the implemented features.

Launching dev containers from code - is impossible?
Well, I got the hint from this GitHub issue. Also, it seems like at one time a devcontainer open command existed in the old dev container CLI (it does not exist anymore since the CLI wants to be editor-agnostic).

Dev Containers: Open, Develop, Repeat...
So you can use Dev Containers from the vscode user interface rather intuitively. All configurations can also be edited directly and there is even a CLI. However, this CLI is made editor agnostic, so there is no vscode integration.

Devcontainer CLI in Neovim
During the last past few days I've been working on a new neovim plugin: nvim-devcontainer-cli which gives you the possibility to build, run and connect to your Docker devcontainer using devcontainer-cli, which is the CLI used by the VS Code Devcontainer plugin.

DevContainers - Vscode Alternative
While doing a bit more research: https://github.com/devcontainers/cli and https://devcontainers.github.io/

Devcontainers without VSCode
If you want to support both use-cases (vim/Neovim & vscode), then vscode/MS broke out devcontainers feature from vscode into a separate project to support non-vscode users. Check out https://github.com/devcontainers/cli and https://devcontainers.github.io/

Are there better options for standardizing development environments than VS Code dev containers?
It's hard to ensure that a prebuilt image provides valid cache for the dev container (I actually submitted a PR to help with this, but I'm still seeing problems and haven't figured out why yet). When we have a cache miss, the build takes 10 minutes.

Creating a dev 'container' to make it easier on first timers
to add this this they recently defined "devcontainers" as a spec to help integrate it with other editors and also turn it into a CLI tool that is being heavily worked on https://containers.dev/ https://github.com/devcontainers/cli

Developing inside a Container using Visual Studio Code Remote Development.
the team have actually started developing devcontainers an an open specification for other IDEs to start integrating with along with a CLI tool they are developing to cutout the need for VS code all together. https://github.com/devcontainers/cli

Ask HN: Any Good Make Alternatives?
Haven't tested it myself, but there's now a cli to decouple devcontainers from VSCode:
https://github.com/devcontainers/cli
What are some alternatives?
When comparing vscli and cli you can also consider the following projects:
nvim-dev-container - Neovim dev container support - Mirror of https://codeberg.org/esensar/nvim-dev-container
.dev-env-docker - Development Environments Inside Docker Container
t-rec-rs - Blazingly fast terminal recorder that generates animated gif images for the web written in rust
spec - Development Containers: Use a container as a full-featured development environment.
millet - A language server for Standard ML.
vscode-remote-release - Visual Studio Code Remote Development: Open any folder in WSL, in a Docker container, or on a remote machine using SSH and take advantage of VS Code's full feature set.
devcontainers-features - A collection of devcontainer 'features'
nvim-devcontainer-cli
wslgit - Use Git installed in Bash on Windows/Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) from Windows and Visual Studio Code (VSCode)
xbase - Develop Apple software products within your favorite editor.
