devcontainer features and mount
Devcontainer uses both Docker and docker-compose to generate containers. The features should theoretically ignore in which mode the reference container is created, but this does not seem to be respected by using ‘mounts’. A feature that needs to mount with type=bind in readonly mode is not able to cover both docker and docker-compose commands.
"mounts": [
{
"source": "/local-path",
"target": "/remote-path:ro", // syntax for docker-compose
"type": "bind",
},
{
"source": "/local-path",
"target": "/remote-path,readonly", // syntax for docker
"type": "bind",
},
]
By using both strings or Mount Object, it is not possible to write a single functional mount.
The example above (it's the only way I found to make mount works) generates a wrong mount path /remote-path,readonly for docker-compose and /remote-path:ro for docker.
The problem probably can be solved through Mount interface
export interface Mount {
type: 'bind' | 'volume';
source?: string;
target: string;
external?: boolean;
readonly?: boolean
}
and use the property readonly to generate the right syntax for both docker-compose.yml and docker --mount
