Introduction

You can run code in a DevContainer instead of Codespaces. This is very useful if you want to run linux code locally on your own windows machine, or if you want to run code on a machine that is not a Codespace. For example, you might want to run code on a Raspberry Pi, or on a machine in the lab.

Read this article to learn more about DevContainers. Also look up Docker if you are not familiar with this wonderful code. A Docker image can be used to run a full linux machine on windows, or even a full linux machine on a Raspberry Pi.

Here is a tutorial on the topic.

Happy DevContainering,
