Development Container

Development Containers is a Microsoft initiated open standard, extending the use case for containers (colloquial Docker) to development environments. Curently, VSCode and IntelliJ are supported.

In a nutshell

A devcontainer setup allows for a standardized development environment, so all tools and runtimes are available to the developer consistently.

You can walk through the steps required for a consistent DRAPI development experience. This includes a local Domino instance for testing.

Prerequisites

• A container runtime:

  • Docker desktop (Win, Mac, Linux)
  • Rancher desktop (Win, Mac, Linux)
  • Podman desktop (Win, Mac, Linux)
  • MicroK8s (Linux)
  • Orbstack (Mac)

  Depending on your choice, you might need to obtain a license. Be sure to check.

• a supported IDE

• the HCL Domino Container repository
• your HCL credentials to obtain the Domino installer

Initial image

We start with a Java development image and add Domino and tooling.

.devcontainer and scripts

Side cars anyone?

This is work in progress

We are constantly working on improving Domino REST API's functionality and documentation. You have a documentation page which is not quite ready. Feel free to feedback what you would like to see here.
