This is cool and fine, but I just use a browser accessible Linux desktop using KASM for a Docker image-based/isolated/ephemeral (except for homedir/profile persistence) “local development with full Linux desktop” environment that I can use from anywhere.
And for package persistence I have an extra configuration to use Brew. It all works beautifully and very fast/no noticeably latency on a capable VM/vps etc:
one of the things i want from a terminal is to run things in a dev container by default and have an explicit button for syncing the changes in that container to the host. the difference between this and messing with docker is that it uses the host system as the base layer.
gotcha, so more of a develop locally in a docker container and then push/deploy to Prod kinda thing. I like it. Could actually do same workflow with a KASM workspace using a Docker Rootless image which allows you to use docker.
