(How) do you automate setting up your local development environment? (lemmy.ml)

In a lot of projects, this is usually done via README. It tells you what running dependencies to install and how to run certain commands.

This can get harder to maintain as things change, the project grows, and complexity increases.

I see two parts to automate here: actually setting up the environment, and running the application or orchestrating multiple apps.

How do you address this?

How's the filesystem performance? Whenever I've mounted something into a Docker Container, the performance has suffered. For example, things like NPM/MVN suddenly take way longer.

In my experience it's greatly dependent on how much memory you dedicate to Docker. I've never ran any performance benchmarks, this is just anecdotal.

It depends on how you set it up. You’re going to take a performance hit using a bind mount. The docs recommend putting your workspace into an actual docker volume for better performance, but I haven’t tried that myself cause so far the bind mount has performed “good enough” for me.
