I guess the biggest benefit is that you can ship it directly from there and don’t have to rewrite your application because Debian ships with an outdated version of some core library
But then your shipping your entire Dev Env as well? Including vscode? Seems a bit antithetical to what docker containers are meant to be? Or do you then just strip the container back down again?
With vscode’s “Remote Containers” plugin at least, it’s clever enough to install that into the container after building the image. So the image built from the dockerfile doesn’t contain the vscode stuff.
