This repository is an example of using the visual studio code remote development tools with telepresence
Using this environment gives the developer an isolated and reproducible environment for rapid development of kubernetes services. This example can be modified and reused for virtually any development environment.
To use this environment you must have the following installed on your local machine
Additionally, you must replace the config file in the .devcontainer folder with a valid kubernetes configuration file. I have not tested alternative methods of authentication or with minikube clusters, but as long as the cluster is accessible from your local environment over the network, it should work in the container.
Once all prerequisites are satisfied you must checkout this repository and open the folder with vscode
git checkout https://github.com/ZacharyJoswick/vscode-remote-telepresence.git
code vscode-remote-telepresence
Once opened, a prompt should appear in the bottom right to open the folder in a remote container. If it does not you can trigger this manually by doing the following:
press: ctr+shift+p
type: Remote-Containers: open Folder in Container...
press: enter
The containerized environment should now start. This may take a few moments the first time depending on the speed of your machine.
Once the environment is started you should be able to perform all steps in the telepresence Rapid development with Kubernetes page
