Is there a way to open VSCode in a disrobox container? I mean the one that is layered into Bluefin itself, rather than reinstalling VSCode inside the container?
I am working with someone on a Go project and they are using 1.23.4 which appears to be a more recent version than I can get through a VSCode devcontainer, more recent than is available via Homebrew, etc. But my Arch Distrobox has it in the repos!
What I would love to do is to essentially replicate the workflow that I use at work. We are a Windows shop (I know…) but I do all my development in WSL2 in the latest Ubuntu LTS since the apps will run in Ubuntu containers in Azure. In Windows, you can attach VSCode to WSL - run VSCode on the host OS and edit files and run the code locally in Linux.
Is that possible with Distrobox? Or would I have to essentially install VSCode in the Arch Distrobox? I kind of don’t want to have multiple installations of VSCode kicking around but…
Ordinarily, you would install newer-than-the-repos versions of Go by downloading the tarball and extracting it in /usr/local.
Wait… Is /usr
read only? I am having trouble keeping track of the directories in root that I can actually do something with and which ones I can’t…
Anyway, I appreciate any advice on this topic!
