Create dev container

Hi, I’ve noticed VS code now supports “dev containers” where you can specify the exact development environment using docker. Their dev containers extension seems to make perfect sense to use for discourse development since docker is the preferred option. Has anyone already written a “devcontainer.json” file for discourse? I’m trying to learn about it and see if I can come up with something.

github.com

discourse/discourse/blob/main/.devcontainer/devcontainer.json

{
  "name": "Discourse",
  "image": "discourse/discourse_dev:release",
  "workspaceMount": "source=${localWorkspaceFolder}/../..,target=/var/www/discourse,type=bind",
  "workspaceFolder": "/var/www/discourse",
  "settings": {
    "search.followSymlinks": false
  },
  "postStartCommand": "sudo /sbin/boot",
  "extensions": ["rebornix.Ruby"],
  "forwardPorts": [9292],
  "remoteUser": "discourse",
  "remoteEnv": {
    "DISCOURSE_DEV_HOSTS": ".githubpreview.dev"
  }
}

I think this was added for github codespaces
