#DevContainers

It's been a little over a year that I've been using #vanilla #emacs and customizing it almost from scratch.

I liked it, I learned a few things here and there about its inner workings, but now is time to have a setup that gets me up to speed in a matter of seconds.

Any suggestions ?

I am particularly looking for a sane config that works out of the box for almost anything and is ergonomic (something like #ergoemacs) with stuff like:
#devcontainers
#lsp
#snippets
#editorconfig
…

First real impressions on #Lubuntu, usage in software development with #VScode and #devcontainers:
better than on Win10+ #wsl2, "snappier", even the first subjective feeling of the dreaded #rust compile times seems better/shorter than on Win+wsl2.
It seems to me that the main reason for this is the filesystem. Then the OS-related differences.

Still far away from 10,000 hours of dealing with #docker, docker-compose and #devcontainers, but it's getting almost comfortable.
Actually, the improvement I achieved is not to be afraid of errors that may/will appear during Reopen in Container.
First Open devcontainer.json in WSL, then the log file will be opened automatically, and the errors are not that illegible any more. Resolve error by error, and get it running the way you want to.

What are folks' thoughts on ?

I'm toying with them now because the main Python project I'm working on has a dependency that no longer builds correctly on macOS. (Python's xmlsec & native libxmlsec1)

My hope for end-of-business-day Friday, May 8, 2025, is to have the start of a somewhat-user-friendly UX for in (including port forwarding). No guarantees. I like devcontainers, but I want to get out of my life, is the thing, is the thing.

Ok, this to me is a cool way of working. A `Dockerfile`, a `.devcontainer.json` and it drops me in vscode with the shell in the vm, Devpod means open source, and no server to run.

`devpod-cli up .` with the following.

This week, I finally played with for the first time. I ran into a bit of issue accessing networking but that’s probably a me issue. So far I’m a fan!

πŸ€” Ah, the to launch dev containers, because opening apps the normal way is so last millennium! πŸš€ Apparently, navigating GUIs is just too much for the modern coder's delicate sensibilities, so here's a tool to save you those precious three clicks. 😏 Just what we needed: a solution in desperate search of a problem. Genius!
