Handy Development Containers

Scripts to build a simple development environments with Docker containers.

Note: for Mac, you should set Lima with the docker template.

1. Build Virtual Machine Image

1. Create a source voulme of the machine name under a persistent location (For example, you can create a directory MyMachine under /your/dev/files).
2. Create a source voulme for a shared directory across containers under a persistent location (Shared under /your/dev/files).
3. Create a directory of the machine name under this repository root (namely, handy_development_containers).
4. Prepare Dockerfile for the machine under the directory created in 2.
5. Run (replace MyMachine with your machine name):

handy_development_containers]$ ./build.sh MyMachine

If you need to build without cache, run:

handy_development_containers]$ ./build.sh MyMachine --no-cache

2. Control Script
