Node.js Development Environment

• Node.js with nodemon, eslint, dotenv, mocha, serve, .... for development.
• PostgreSQL Database
• Adminer for database management

The Visual Studio Code Remote - Containers extension lets you use a Docker container as a full-featured development environment. It allows you to open any folder or repository inside a container and take advantage of Visual Studio Code's full feature set. The .devcontainer.json file tells VS Code how to access (or create) the development container with well-defined tool and runtime stack.

The Visual Studio Code Remote - SSH extension lets you use any remote machine with a SSH server as your development environment.

Since everything that has to do with the stack, only runs in the container, you have to put the commands into the corresponding container.

The local folder code is mapped to /opt/nodeDEV/code in the container

After cloning this repository you should rename .env.example to .env and adapt as needed
