What
Replaces the devcontainer setup with a standalone Docker Compose configuration using a Docker-in-Docker sidecar service.
Why
Devcontainer lock-in limits flexibility. Moving to plain Docker Compose allows the environment to run anywhere with Docker, without requiring VS Code devcontainer extension or Codespaces.
How
Dockerfilebased onubuntu:latestthat installs all dev tools (asdf, helm, kubectl, terraform, starship, node, python, etc.)docker-compose.yamlwith two services: the dev environment container and adocker:dindsidecar.devcontainer/directory and its lock fileThe dev container connects to the DinD service via
DOCKER_HOST=tcp://docker:2375over a private bridge network.Changes
.tool-versionsinstalled via asdf, plus Docker CLI, Node.js LTS, Python, Go Task, Helm plugins, starship, yj/yq, and dotfiles stowdevcontainer(build env) +docker(DinD sidecar, privileged, with persisteddocker-datavolume)Commits
