Vscode-dev-containers Alternatives

• Web API – Dev environment in 120 seconds
  dev.to | 2021-10-02

  Before we get too far ahead, let’s codify the bits we already know. We start VS Code and browse through a catalog of available dev containers… This time round we needed to set up and orchestrate at least two: we’ve got our app as well as Hoppscotch sitting in the same virtual network. That led us to opt for docker-from-docker-compose container template. On top of that, we enhanced it with dotnet SDK installation like our AWS Lambda container.

• AWS Lambda – Dev environment in 120 seconds

  The biggest issue by far was the fact that SAM heavily relies on containers which for us means we’ll have to go deeper and use docker-in-docker dev container as a starting point. The base image there comes with bare minimum software and dotnet SDK is not part of it. So, we’ll have to install everything ourselves:

• Azure Functions – Dev environment in 120 seconds

  Next, we'll use VS Code's built-in dev container library to pick our environment of choice. Then we'll build up and switch into our container and create a function app. Finally, we'd run the code to verify environment set up correctly.

  I've been using my M1 mac with latex through VS Code with a devcontainer - here's the container definition that I based my setup on. https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-dev-containers/pull/1005

  Turns out, Microsoft have already provided a very good starting point. So, all we need to do is:

• GitHub’s Engineering Team has moved to Codespaces
  news.ycombinator.com | 2021-08-11

  Currently, VS Code is the primary method of connection to each Codespace, and we do not support other editors officially.

  If you’re looking to connect via SSH, we do have a workaround here: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-dev-containers/blob/main... -- and I use this regularly for Jupyter Notebooks.

  Indeed there is. It looks similar although the setup sounds like more hassle and it doesn't have a fancy icon 😊

• Setting up a VS Code Dev Container

  The Dockerfile is dropped into the .devcontainer folder within your project. If you have used the VS Code configuration screen, you're likely to be using a base image provided by Microsoft.
