Level up your Backdrop localhost with Dev Container

Discussion about new BackDev Project that allows developers use containers to ensure a consistent local environment when working with Backdrop

A devcontainer based local Backdrop CMS dev environment

Some of the values of this project:

• Create an identical environment on any workstation
• Require as few tools and custom scripts as possible
• Be as explicit as possible in all requirements
• Encourage config as code to prevent drift
• Reproduce a production site quickly and automatically

Other tools 

• https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/bee - command line utility
• https://backdropcms.org/project/coder_upgrade - This module carries out many of the changes required to port a Drupal 7 module to Backdrop 1.x.
