Support for a devenvironment.yaml configuration file
Currently, the Dev Environments feature automatically looks for the docker-compose file located at ".docker/docker-compose.yaml" in the root directory. The following are some of the downsides of doing this.
- It bypasses any additional configurations that can be made
- It prevents you from specifying a path to the container configuration file
- It requires you to create a new docker-compose.yaml file, if you want one located in the root directory
To fix these problems, it should look for a devevironment file located at either ".docker/devenvironment.yaml" or ".devenvironment.yaml" in the root directory. You should only look for a docker-compose file if a devenvironment file is not located. By implementing this solution, not only will the problems above be fixed, but you could also implement additional features easier.
This could possibly solve issue #22 and add support for using a .devcontainer configuration file.
@alantbarlow we're currently working of this kind solution, I would be really happy if we can plan meeting with @rumpl and we'll demo the wip. WDYT? You can drop me an email directly [email protected]
If you need further feedback, count me in! Seems really promising, and I'm excited to see where this goes.
