The erosion of the Mac experience

Docker? After attemping to install dependencies and build GIS tools originating in the 90´s, I am so thankful for people who have published docker images of obscure software.

The students have to develop software using the framework, not just use the final program. I always found docker as a dev environment rather painful. Maybe I have to revisit.

I’ve found the following to work quite well:

Have a docker compose file setup that runs a container with all the necessary build tools and anything else.

Map home directories, /opt and anything else you want to persist as named volumes.

Run docker compose up -d

Use the remote development extension of vscode to connect to the container and develop almost as if it was local.

vscode's remote dev is indeed god-tier. I love vscode.

I’m not a huge fan of vscode (speaking as a c++ dev), but remote dev is a killer feature so I use it over other alternatives.

This is a neat idea.

Maybe https://www.vagrantup.com would be a better solution then vanilla docker
