# Using the VSCode Dev Container

There is a dev container configuration provided for development. By default it will use the existing container image available at `ghcr.io/jasonn3/build-container-installer:latest`, however, you can have it build a new image by editing `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json` and replacing `image` with `build`. `Ctrl+/` can be used to comment and uncomment blocks of code within VSCode.

The code from VSCode will be available at `/workspaces/build-container-installer` once the container has started.

Privileged is required for access to loop devices for lorax.

## Use existing container image:
```
{
  "name": "Existing Dockerfile",
//  "build": {
//    "context": "..",
//    "dockerfile": "../Containerfile",
//    "args": {
//      "version": "39"
//    }
//  },
  "image": "ghcr.io/jasonn3/build-container-installer:latest",
  "overrideCommand": true,
  "shutdownAction": "stopContainer",
  "privileged": true
}
```

## Build a new container image:
```
{
  "name": "Existing Dockerfile",
  "build": {
    "context": "..",
    "dockerfile": "../Containerfile",
    "args": {
      "version": "39"
    }
  },
  //"image": "ghcr.io/jasonn3/build-container-installer:latest",
  "overrideCommand": true,
  "shutdownAction": "stopContainer",
  "privileged": true
}
```
