Developing inside a Container (VSCode)

use a Docker container as a full-featured development environment. It allows you to open any folder inside (or mounted into) a container and take advantage of Visual Studio Code’s full feature set. - Getting started

Remote-Containers: Open Folder in Container
Reopen Folder localy (exit)

create .devcontainer/devcontainer.json

{
    "image": "ydu/remarkable-toolchain"
}

or refering to Dockerfile

{
    "dockerFile": "Dockerfile",
    "remoteUser": "yves",
    "mounts": [
        "source=/home/yves/DEV/reMarkable/cairo,target=/home/yves/DEV/reMarkable/cairo,type=bind,consistency=cached"
      ]
}

Then => Remote-Containers: Reopen in Container

Docker-compose can be use as well.
