How to Run Dev-Containers on Azure?
I want to run dev-containers on Azure infrastructure. I've noticed that Coder provides:
- A template for dev-containers via Docker (https://registry.coder.com/templates/coder/docker-devcontainer)
- Templates for Azure-hosted workspaces (Linux and Windows VMs)
However, there doesn't seem to be a template that combines both — i.e., running dev-containers inside an Azure-hosted VM.
I'm wondering:
- Has anyone successfully set up a workflow like this?
- Is there a reason why Coder hasn't provided an Azure + dev-container template out of the box?
- Is the recommended path to start from the Azure VM template and add Docker + devcontainer provisioning manually?
Would love to hear if anyone's tackled this, or has suggestions on best practices. Thanks in advance!
