GitLab job examples?

[rfulwell]

I see the GitHub Action and Azure DevOps Task. It should be straightforward to implement the dev container build as a GitLab CI job. Is there an existing example of this?

You should be able to use the Dev Container CLI directly assuming Docker is installed on the host the job is run on.

https://containers.dev/implementors/reference/#what-is-CLI

For examples:

1. This is an example script that will pre-build an image: https://github.com/devcontainers/cli/blob/main/example-usage/image-build/build-image.sh
2. And this is an example of using a dev container for your build: https://github.com/devcontainers/cli/blob/main/example-usage/ci-app-build-script/build-application.sh

We could add cross-references to these in docs as I think about it.
