Environments

Every environment is based on base image. The base image must be built prior to building any other environment:

Build a specific environment image:

./devcontainer --env <environment_id> build

Run environment container:

./devcontainer --env <environment_id> run

Example:

./devcontainer --env python build --no-cache
./devcontainer --env python run --rm
