Devcontainer for Node.js

Outcome

After playing with it for a while, one issue prevented me from committing to this tool.
Mounting a Windows folder onto a Linux container results in a terrible reading speed (git status ~10 seconds on a medium-sized repo).
The recommendation was to have the source in a folder that's "Linux compatible" by either using WSL or adjusting the mounting method in the docker-compose.
For me, that's too much trouble.

It also seems that Webpack's hot-module-replacement feature doesn't work in a devcontainer out of the box.

How to use with VSCode

1. Install & start Docker

2. Install Remote Development extension

3. Copy .env.schema's content into .env and replace the dummy env variables

4. Copy devcontainer.schema.json's content into devcontainer.json and replace the dummy values

5. Set the workspaceFolder value in devcontainer.json to the same as CONTAINER_WORKSPACE_FOLDER in .env

6. Disable git's filemode-change tracking to make life easier when working on both Windows and Unix systems

   git config --add core.filemode false

7. Clone the repo into a .devcontainers folder at the root of your project

8. Copy .gitattributes to the root folder

9. Run Dev Containers: Reopen in Container VSCode command
