VS Code dev container for a new sinatra project within vscode as a devcontainer

Clone the repository, copy .env.example to .env & then open the folder in VS Code. You should now be prompted to open in a container.

git clone https://github.com/colindensem/vscode-dev-container-sinatra/

Once the container is built, there is a prompt to run init-container.sh script, this can perform whatever tasks you desire, initally it will do a bundle install.

The project comes with a simple sinatra app and rspec. It uses a couple of gems to load settings and runs under the puma webserver via foreman. The devcontainer also includes an additional service, in the form of redis. This is included to illustrate one way to do it.

From the now in container vscode panel, open a new terminal, using the binstubs in bin, you can do

rspec

To launch the app

foreman start

Open a browser to localhost:5000
