My thoughts on GitHub Codespaces in February 2022
I’ve tried GitHub Codespaces.
My dev environment with Visual Studio Code devcontainers
Description here.
No access to docker-compose output and no control over what will happen in case my service fails.
Todo:
Experiment: try to run docker daemon in devcontainer.
Alternatives
Local development
Personal server on DigitalOcean
I have personal server in DigitalOcean. It seems I can scale up and scale down it when needed.
I think the time to scale up the server is comparable to the time for starting a codespace.
Experiment: try it.
