So, once you've done that and you've cloned it locally, then what you would do is just do what I did then. And if you want to check that out, it's at Doppler HQ and then just search for the Mandalorian Gifs node repository. Ideally, if you want to follow along, or if you want to do this afterwards, you'll clone the repository. So, what I want to do is just really run you through the steps that you'll need to go through in terms of setup. So, I'm going to this out and now let's get back to our presentation. So, we'll see if we can get to doing a brief demonstration of Doppler later. To give you just a really quick peek at what Doppler looks like, essentially you have a list of projects, this one's Mandalorian Gifs, and just like an env file, here are all of the keys and the secret values over here as well.

So, if you are going to use Doppler with Visual Studio Code, which I'd highly recommend you check out, what you'll need to do is launch Visual Studio Code with some environment variables that Doppler needs in order to configure itself so it knows which secrets to pull in for which project. The purpose of this all isn't really going to be to feature Doppler but just we'll be touching on some things related to dotenv files, which can make things a little tricky with Visual Studio Code. Now, I'm from Doppler and Doppler is a secrets manager. I've got an integrated terminal except this terminal is actually running inside the Docker container.ДЄnd what's really cool is because it's Visual Studio Code, I still have all of the features in terms of step debugging and all of those sorts of things that I would normally, if I was, using Visual Studio Code and everything was running locally. So, we can see here that I've got all of my project files. This is why Visual Studio Code and Microsoft and GitHub are going to succeed in that dream of having a completely remote development environment that still has all of the features that we're used to.

What we can see here is once we have opened the container on Visual Studio Code, this is the really cool part. And if you are going to start off with dev containers, I definitely recommend doing it locally first with a local installation of Docker, just because there are a lot of moving pieces. Here, I'm going to be using the local version of that. I'm going to get into this code a lot more later, but as you can see here, I'm using the workspace mount that will be in the virtual machine. Now, if there is one area of Visual Studio Code in getting this all to work that is the most challenging, it is by far mounting your code in the container. And I have a suspicion that the reason why this is happening is to do with volume mounting. Now, what happens is when you've got an error, you will then bounce back to Visual Studio Code, so you can make that change and then go back into the container flow.

So, this is the exact flow that you'll do if you've got your code cloned locally, and then you want to launch that code in a container, that is the workflow that you will do. The other thing I want to show you quickly is what does it actually look like to launch a dev container? Now, I'm going to be using this with Docker locally because that's a bit of way to save time.ДЄnd so, if we bring up the command palette in Visual Studio Code, we can see here command to rebuild and reopen in the container. So, let's stop that and then heading back to our list. This is the sort of thing that we're going to be deploying in our remote container. So, if we go to localhost:8080, and take a look. I'm a big believer that if you want to learn something, you should build a real application and test it out that way. And it's a really simple app that, as you might guess, randomly generates Mandalorian Gifs. The application is called a Mandalorian Gifs Generator. So, just to start off with a really quick intro in terms of the application. Now, you don't need to necessarily read all of these things, but this just gives you an idea of what we're going to try and tackle in the 45 minutes or maybe 42 minutes that are left for the session today. Now, because this isn't your typical webinar, we've got a bit of a to-do list to get through. So, I'm going to share my screen and we're going to get straight into it.

Not just dev containers on the VS Code, which is a very new technology, but how to actually run dev containers remotely on AWS. I'm Ryan Blunden, developer advocate at Doppler and I'm really excited to be presenting to you today, a pretty ambitious topic, really. If you have questions, you can find me on Twitter or send me an email at Video Transcript Also check out our Visual Studio Code Remote Dev Containers on AWS Set Up Guide to learn how to configure your local and remote machine and you can find the code used throughout the video on GitHub.
