Tried to add an Oracle Database to my Dev Containers & Codespaces setup while prepping a Java talk — it was a very smooth experience!

Using Oracle Database Free in your devcontainer and GitHub Codespaces
Dev containers are pretty nifty when it comes to keeping your development environment isolated from the rest of your system. Quoting from the documentation: Development containers, or dev container…

Devcontainers are the reason why I use MS Visual Studio Code despite tracking and feature nudging. An alternative would be ZED, but it only supports remote editing via SSH.

It is possible to integrate SSH into a Docker container. In brief:

- Install openssh-server in the image
- Configuration […]

Just curious, I'm trying to get a Windows based #DevContainer to work in #VSCode, but keep getting stuck on mounting issues.
Is it actually possible to run Windows based DevContainers or are there issues?
And if it is possible, does anyone know how to overcome mounting issues? #Help

I've honestly had a very bad experience with atomic linux distributions for reasons like this

really tried to like them but developing everything in a container (especially when devcontainers breaks with podman) was so cumbersome i ended up learning nix

I've managed to set up a local "writing environment for devs" using VSCode + Latex in DevContainers. I was always very annoyed at the web editor of Overleaf for multi-file work (it's convenient for smaller things like papers though). So overall, much improved and some useful procrastination :)

Watching the Bazzite developer edition with mild interest but I'm just not at all interested in devcontainers so it seems like an uphill battle. Great for *playing* though. My non-game dev work is a mixture of NixOS and MacOS but the former is not something I'd recommend to any variety of developer.

First it's time to yank my favorite .vscode/settings.json and devcontainer.json and pair them down to the minimum reasonable for the veilid project.

If you like to customize your VSCode or VSCodium based browser, how do you rice it?
Screenshot of a development environment in Visual Studio Code showing two JSON configuration files side-by-side: `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json` and `.vscode/settings.json`. The `.devcontainer.json` file configures the development container for the Veilid project, specifying options such as `remoteUser` set to "vscode," the use of a `Dockerfile`, mounting Docker volumes, and enabling the "docker-outside-of-docker" feature. A `postCreateCommand` runs `cargo --version` to verify the Rust toolchain. On the right, the `.vscode/settings.json` file defines editor settings and plugin configurations to enhance the development workflow. It includes `search.exclude` rules to omit files like `.git`, `.svn`, `.DS_Store`, and others from search results, and custom Vim key bindings and behaviors tailored for Rust and Veilid development. The workspace tabs and icons indicate an organized structure, prioritizing an automated and streamlined setup for working with DevContainers. The vibrant color-coded theme improves readability of syntax and configuration options.

Je trouve que GitHub s'est bien amélioré depuis 1 an.
La migration est assez facile grâce aux devcontainers

I think the intended route for dev work like that is to use distrobox containers and DevContainers - keeps everything nicely organised, and what little experience i have has still resulted in a smooth experience

Nobara is good bet too! Bit more traditional in regards to Linux desktops

Also planning a few updates to https://devbox.computer:

• How to get secrets into the images to enable e.g. gem push/npm publish
• Doing stuff not as roo

Stretch goals
• can this be used with devcontainers?
• headed browser tests
Website for the book “Sustainable Dev Environments with Docker and Bash”
By using widely-understood, standardized tools for virtualization and scripting, you can have a dev environment set up in minutes.

It seems to work off devcontainers but it’s completely changed how I spin up my environments now. They even have pre-made ones for specific stacks.

My poor little #devcontainers were trying to run KinD with only 2GB of RAM allocated to #Podman. I could hear them screaming OOM in agony. 💀💀💀

Fans not yet, but Microsoft has already accepted that Windows is coming to an end.
They now have Azure Linux, because Linux in Azure is an income source with a future, unlike the shrinking Windows market.
They release things like devcontainers because they can't do that with Windows, not even them

In the past, I didn't had good experience running docker container during development.

These days I moved off Apple hardware and running Linux, so it might be a good idea to give devcontainers a try.

But I work on many libraries, gems and golang projects - docker doesn't make sense in these cases.
