Add a docker compose configuration file #135693
Description
As suggested by @malemburg in https://discuss.python.org/t/what-do-people-want-to-see-to-make-supporting-wasi-easier/94472/ , we could add a .devcontainer/compose.yml file to provide another way to get the dev container beyond the instructions in the devguide (which I'm improving). It would probably be something along the lines of:
# Start: docker compose --file .devcontainer/compose.yml up --detach
# Get a shell: docker compose exec cpython-dev bash
# Stop: docker compose down
# Cleanup: docker compose rm cpython-dev
services:
cpython-dev:
image: ghcr.io/python/devcontainer:latest
container_name: cpython-dev
restart: unless-stopped
entrypoint: sleep 86400
working_dir: /workspace
volumes:
- ../:/workspaceThe biggest benefit I can see from other approaches to using the image outside of GitHub Codespaces like docker run is you don't need to know where the container registry is to get going.
