    Imagine you're developing server applications relying on both Node.js and PostgreSQL. You might initially use installation commands in a Dockerfile (as discussed in Part 1) or leverage Dev Container Features (covered in Part 2) to install PostgreSQL within your container.

    3 projects | dev.to | 31 Dec 2022
    there are already built docker images for common development environment. You can either use one of them, or build one from Docker file. Using a pre-built dev container doesn't mean you are only limited to that image, because you can still add other tools, which they are called features to that image. For a list of the pre-built templates check here, and for the other features that you can add check this. You don't need a Docker file, unless you want to build your dev environment step by step.

  • Containerizing devops tools with docker compose
    2 projects | /r/devops | 30 Nov 2022
    This is actually very easy. I've implemented a number of tools like this publicly but the standard doesn't limit you to public stuff. I can't emphasize enough the amount of speed we gained when we implemented this standard. https://containers.dev/features
