How to setup a Mojoð¥ development environment with Docker containers
Blog post from Modular
Container technologies such as Docker have become essential tools for building portable and reliable software development environments, which can easily be shared and reproduced across different systems. Initially popular in IT and operations, containers are now increasingly used in development due to their ability to create lightweight, consistent environments. The blog post discusses setting up a containerized development environment for the Mojo SDK using Docker, detailing the steps involved, including cloning the Mojo repository, building and running a Docker container, and using tools like Visual Studio Code and Jupyter Lab for development. The author emphasizes the benefits of using containers, such as the ability to experiment with different packages and dependencies in isolated environments, and the ease of reproducing results across different setups. Additionally, the post highlights the process of managing containers through starting, stopping, and re-attaching them, ensuring an efficient workflow for developers.
