Running Jekyll in a Dev Container

This guide outlines the steps to run a Jekyll site inside a Docker container using Visual Studio Code (VSCode).

Steps to Run Jekyll in the Container

1. Open the Project in the Container

• Open your Jekyll project in VSCode.
• Use the command “Dev-Containers: Open Folder in Container…” which is available in the Command Palette (F1 or Ctrl+Shift+P).

2. Access the Container’s Terminal

• Once the project is open in the container, open a new terminal in VSCode. This terminal will be inside the container.

3. Navigate to the Project Directory

• Ensure that you are in your project’s root directory, where your Jekyll site’s files are located.

4. Run Jekyll

• Run the following command to start the Jekyll server inside the container: ```bash bundle exec jekyll serve
