VSCode + Dev Containers are a great way to create custom environments without modifying our actual system. They provide a consistent development environment, ensure dependencies are managed correctly, and make it easy to share setups with your team. Here are some configurations you can use to create them. Vapor { "name": "Swift", "image": "swift:latest", "features": { "ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/common-utils:2": { "installZsh": "false", "username": "vscode", "userUid": "1000", "userGid": "1000", "upgradePackages": "false" }, "ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/git:1": { "version": "os-provided", "ppa": "false" } }, "runArgs": [ "--cap-add=SYS_PTRACE", "--security-opt", "seccomp=unconfined" ], "customizations": { "vscode": { "settings": { "lldb.

Let’s continue our exploration of the wonders of local development with containers. This time, we’ll delve into the world of Haskell programming. Instead of burdening your local environment with the entire toolchain, we’ll opt for a more streamlined approach: creating a dev container. This example will illustrate how effortlessly you can integrate new tools and programming languages without causing any disruptions to your local system. What is Haskell Haskell, a pure functional programming language, though not as commonly used in the industry, is a powerful language whose fundamentals can significantly enhance your programming skills.

Hello devs, I’ve recently been exploring the synergy between Docker and VSCode for local development. The concept of consolidating code and dependencies into containers has caught my attention. This approach not only establishes a clean slate for each project but also promotes a stateless system, a goal that aligns seamlessly with my coding environment. To explore these ideas further, let’s create a small project: containerizing an installation of Hugo. This way, we can run our own dev blog anywhere without worrying about configuration and compatibility issues.
