+
+This folder holds a devcontainer definition for Friendica.
+
+The main features are:
+
+- The development container is based on the PHP dev container image in variant that includes an Apache2 
+  webserver. The variant defines the PHP version and the OS it is based on. The currently used variant 
+  is defined in the Dockerfile.
+
+- Creating a dev container from the Git repository should give you a running development environment 
+  with no or optionally only a very little things to do after creation.
+
+- A MariaDB container is used for the database. It can be accessed in the dev container's terminal with simple 
+  calling mysql. The needed parameters for the client are created and copied during setup. The runtime configuration 
+  needs to use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost as the latter causes PHP to try to use a socket connection which is not 
+  available in this setup.
+
+
+The development setup is:
+
+- After creation of the dev container the Apache2 web server shall be availaible through port forwarding on 
+  port 8080 from your local development machine (http://localhost:8080/). This is also the url as configured 
+  in local.config.php. You should be able to log in with user 'admin@friendica.local' and password 'admin'.
+
+- Important values are defined in the devcontainer.env file and applied during creation wherever possible. The
+  environment is also available during run/debug time to the application.
+
+- XDebug can be started by the launch configuration 'Listen for Xdebug'. The launch configuration is in .vscode/launch.json
+  (this file is added to git).
+
+
+Open points:
+
+- Cron jobs / worker are not available. For a dev environment those are disabled by default (but can be optionally 
+  enabled).
+
+- The creation of the container runs the postCreate.sh script. This includes a few setup steps that do not need to 
+  be runned on a container rebuild (but on creation of the container). I plan to seperate steps from creation and rebuild 
+  but it is not really a problem at the moment (it just gives some output stating Error where no error is).
+
+- Passing values from the local development machine (with $localEnv) does not seem to work. This would be handy to apply
+  a few settings differently based on user choice. 
+
+- The dev container does not have an email MTA. 
+
+- The devcontainer does currently not support TLS.
+
+- There are still a bit too much warnings logged at startup but that doesn't seem to be a problem.
+
+- Only the first launch configuration ('Listen for Xdebug') is working.
+
+- There is no port exposed on the container (only forwarded ports used). It would be handy to have the dev instance being able
+  to work as a normal instance in the fediverse.
