<p dir="auto">Thanks, this looks like a great suggestion. I gave it a try, created a new clone of the repo, then added a new devcontainer using <code class="notranslate">bundle exec rails container.</code></p>
<p dir="auto">Initially I was a bit struggling with (Debian, Rails, npm) packages on generated devcontainer. I believe we can probably reuse a lot of the existing Dockerfile and copy it over to .devcontainer/Dockerfile, thereby hopefully addressing these issues. There's a bit of overlap between the "postCreateCommand" in devcontainer.json and the existing Dockerfile, which would need to be resolved.</p>
<p dir="auto">Then I added memcached and mailpit to compose.yaml and adjusted settings.local.yml accordingly. Both were fairly trivial to get up and running. They allow me to run more production-like scenarios without much hassle. Also, unit tests are passing successfully.</p>
<p dir="auto">Overall I see a much improved DX compared to the old Dockerfile.</p>
