I don’t use them myself, as I’m content with nix flakes for this purpose, but great news for sane development environments!
Thanks a lot for sharing this. I do not use Zed either, but the article mentions how to create a devcontainer file and I also found that it's possible to use the cli in neovim.
I noticed it has a hard dependency on docker though having below as docker did the trick.
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/sbin/podman "$@"
Nice! I recently setup Dev Containers for my team so that we can safely run Claude and other LLM clients in dangerous modes without fear of impacting the host machine or our cloud services.
I used devcontainer + ssh, but I depend on forward ports too so won't be using it too soon, good first step here.
Zed is a great editor. I have been using it since the beginning and it just keeps getting better
