Using a dev container is easy as copying the content into the project root, and:
With VS Code:
- Edit the
post-create.zshscript, if needed - Run command:
Rebuild and Reopen in Container
Microsoft guide to Browse the Container Registry is a good source to learn how the dev container images are organized. See the entire catelog on Docker Hub.
These dev containers use container features to mix and match sandboxes, and avoid the use of docker compose to construct and spawn container instances. See the devcontainer.json file inside the folder to learn full-blown configurations.
These dev containers are configured to build and run the source within VS Code. See the tasks.json file inside the folder to learn more.
If you have any technical problems with VS Code or Dev Containers, you are better off asking VS Code Support directly, since you'll end up getting a much faster response back that way.
The official repo to contribute would be @microsoft/vscode-dev-containers.
