Working with Docker#

DLS is a podman shop and therefore more testing is done with podman than docker as the container CLI used with developer containers. podman works extremely well with developer containers, but docker needs a little more work sometimes.

We do fully support docker, please report any issues you find.

There are a few things to know if you are using docker in your developer containers:

add export EC_REMOTE_USER=vscode into your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile. The epics-containers devcontainer.json files will use this to set the account that your user will use inside devcontainers.
you may need to tell git that you are ok with the repository permissions. vscode may ask you about this or you may need to do the command:
```
git config --global --add safe.directory <Git folder>
```
you can use sudo if you are having permissions issues. In particular the following will reset permissions on a folder:
```
sudo chown -r vscode <folder>
```
