Support to run docker inside of a Studio (VS Code) for Nextflow development
in progress
Evan Floden
Pipeline development in Nextflow is often done using docker.
When inside a VS Code environment within Studios, I want to be able to run:
nextflow run main.nf -with-docker
The requirement is to run fast, "local" iterations rather than requiring an external service like AWS Batch or similar, which has delays.

Hi I was just curious if there are any details available on what the challenge was for implementing this? It seems that services like GitHub CodeSpaces, which also run inside virtualized environments or Docker containers themselves, already have several different ways to have Docker installed and running https://containers.dev/features so I was not sure what the difference was for Studios' implementation.
