    • Install docker-compose,
    • Start the podman socket with systemctl --user start podman.socket
    • Use the podman socket as the compose host by adding export DOCKER_HOST=unix:///run/user/$UID/podman/podman.sock to your ~/.bashrc
  • Install ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers
  • Set remote.containers.dockerPath to podman
  • Set remote.containers.dockerComposePath to your docker-compose
  • Disable buildkit by adding export DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0 to your ~/.bashrc
  • Open Development Container
  • Create a .env file in the .devcontainer directory containing the necessary secrets
