# Day 52 - Creating a custom Dev Container for your GitHub Codespace to start with Terraform on Azure
|

|
# ONE SENTENCE SUMMARY:
|
|
Patrick K demonstrates how to create a Dev container for a GitHub repository with Terraform and the Azure CLI, using Visual Studio Code and a Docker file and Dev container JSON file.
|
|
|
|
# MAIN POINTS:
|
|
1. Create an empty repository on GitHub named `Asia terraform code space`.
|
|
2. Inside the repository, create a `dev container` folder with two files: `dockerfile` and `devcontainer.json`.
|
|
3. In the `dockerfile`, install the Asia CLI, Terraform, and other necessary tools using a base image.
|
|
4. Use the `devcontainer.json` to configure the environment for the code space, referencing the `dockerfile`.
|
|
5. Commit and push the changes to the main branch of the repository.
|
|
6. Use Visual Studio Code's Remote Explorer extension to create a new code space from the repository.
|
|
7. The Dev container will be built and run in the background on a virtual machine.
|
|
8. Once the code space is finished, Terraform and the Asia CLI should be available within it.
|
|
9. To stop the Dev container, click 'disconnect' when you no longer need it.
|
|
10. Rebuild the container to extend it with new tools as needed.
|
|
|
|
# TAKEAWAYS:
|
|
1. You can create a Dev container for your GitHub code space using Visual Studio Code and two files: `dockerfile` and `devcontainer.json`.
|
|
2. The `dockerfile` installs necessary tools like the Asia CLI and Terraform, while the `devcontainer.json` configures the environment for the code space.
|
|
3. Once you have created the Dev container, you can use it to work with Terraform and the Asia CLI within your GitHub code space.
|
|
4. To start working with the Dev container, create a new terminal and check if Terraform and the Asia CLI are available.
|
|
5. Remember to stop the Dev container when you no longer need it to save resources, and rebuild it as needed to extend its functionality.
|
|
Here is the output:

|
Create a Dev container for your GitHub code space to work with Terraform and the AWS CLI by creating a Docker file and a devcontainer.json file.
|
|
|
|
# MAIN POINTS:
|
|
|
|
1. Create an empty repository named Azure terraform code space.
|
|
2. Create two files: a Docker file and a devcontainer.json file, inside a dev-container directory.
|
|
3. Define the base image and install the necessary tools, including AWS CLI and Terraform.
|
|
4. Configure the devcontainer.json file to set up the environment for your code space.
|
|
5. Push the changes to the main branch of your repository.
