  • Maximizing Efficiency with Dev Containers: A Developer's Guide

    Dev Containers provide a versatile and expansive technology stack, making them ideal for development. For our purposes, we'll opt for a pre-configured Python image maintained by Microsoft, accessible in their repository. Specifically, the Python development containers we're interested in are found under src/python, with a comprehensive list of available images available at location. We'll select the mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/python image tagged 3-bullseye. This container comes equipped with Git, various Python tools, zsh, the Oh My Zsh! Framework, a non-root Visual Studio Code (VSCode) user with sudo privileges, and a suite of common development dependencies. For those curious about the construction of the Docker image, further details can be found here.

    When you visit the repository for DevContainer images, there are pre-configured list of base Docker container images for DevContainer. Let's choose the one for .NET. You can choose many different variants, but either 6.0-jammy (Ubuntu 22.04) or 6.0-focal (Ubuntu 20.04) would be yours if you prefer using Ubuntu-based images with .NET 6. Ubuntu 22.04 is set to the default base image in this post.
