A project to test VS Code's local container dev setup. With a Python project.

Setup

  1. Install Docker

  2. In VS Code install the "Remote - Containers extension"

  3. Launch VS Code

  4. Then either:

    • If you have checked out this repo locally....

      1. Open the checked out folder in VS Code
      2. Click the green "><" box in lower left corner
      3. Select "Open Folder in Container"

    • If you haven't checked out this repo locally....

      1. Open VS Code
      2. Click the green "><" box in lower left corner
      3. Select "Clone Repository in Container Volume"
      4. Enter https://github.com/rabidgremlin/test-vscode-containder-dev-python as Github repo

  5. Wait for initial dev container to download/build

Running the app

  1. Open new terminal (this will open shell in your dev container)
  2. Run
export FLASK_APP=hello
flask run
  1. Browse to http://localhost:5000/

How does this work ?

See https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/containers-tutorial#_how-it-works

Also check out files in .devcontainer to see the setup. These were creaed by VS Code using the "Remote-Containers: Add Development Container Configuration Files" option on the repo before it had a .devcontainer folder.
