Using this repo and development container

GitHub Codespaces

Follow these steps to open this sample in a Codespace:

1. Click the Code drop-down menu and select the Open with Codespaces option.
2. Select + New codespace at the bottom on the pane.

For more info, check out the GitHub documentation.

VS Code Remote - Containers

Follow these steps to open this sample in a container using the VS Code Remote - Containers extension:

1. If this is your first time using a development container, please ensure your system meets the pre-reqs (i.e. have Docker installed) in the getting started steps.

2. To use this repository, you can either open the repository in an isolated Docker volume:

   • Press F1 and select the Remote-Containers: Try a Sample... command.
   • Choose the "Python" sample, wait for the container to start, and try things out!

     Note: Under the hood, this will use the Remote-Containers: Clone Repository in Container Volume... command to clone the source code in a Docker volume instead of the local filesystem. Volumes are the preferred mechanism for persisting container data.

   Or open a locally cloned copy of the code:

   • Clone this repository to your local filesystem.
   • Press F1 and select the Remote-Containers: Open Folder in Container... command.
   • Select the cloned copy of this folder, wait for the container to start, and try things out!

3. Rebuild or update your container

   You may want to make changes to your container, such as installing a different version of a software or forwarding a new port. You'll rebuild your container for your changes to take effect.

   Open browser automatically: As an example change, let's update the portsAttributes in the .devcontainer/devcontainer.json file to open a browser when our port is automatically forwarded.

   • Open the .devcontainer/devcontainer.json file.
   • Modify the "onAutoForward" attribute in your portsAttributes from "notify" to "openBrowser".
   • Press F1 and select the Remote-Containers: Rebuild Container or Codespaces: Rebuild Container command so the modifications are picked up.
