Follow these steps to open this sample in a Codespace:
- Click the Code drop-down menu and select the Open with Codespaces option.
- Select + New codespace at the bottom on the pane.
For more info, check out the GitHub documentation.
Follow these steps to open this sample in a container using the VS Code Remote - Containers extension:
-
If this is your first time using a development container, please ensure your system meets the pre-reqs (i.e. have Docker installed) in the getting started steps.
-
To use this repository, you can either open the repository in an isolated Docker volume:
- Press F1 and select the Remote-Containers: Try a Sample... command.
- Choose the "Python" sample, wait for the container to start, and try things out!
Note: Under the hood, this will use the Remote-Containers: Clone Repository in Container Volume... command to clone the source code in a Docker volume instead of the local filesystem. Volumes are the preferred mechanism for persisting container data.
Or open a locally cloned copy of the code:
- Clone this repository to your local filesystem.
- Press F1 and select the Remote-Containers: Open Folder in Container... command.
- Select the cloned copy of this folder, wait for the container to start, and try things out!
-
Rebuild or update your container
You may want to make changes to your container, such as installing a different version of a software or forwarding a new port. You'll rebuild your container for your changes to take effect.
Open browser automatically: As an example change, let's update the
portsAttributesin the.devcontainer/devcontainer.jsonfile to open a browser when our port is automatically forwarded.- Open the
.devcontainer/devcontainer.jsonfile. - Modify the
"onAutoForward"attribute in yourportsAttributesfrom"notify"to"openBrowser". - Press F1 and select the Remote-Containers: Rebuild Container or Codespaces: Rebuild Container command so the modifications are picked up.
