2. Make sure that in devcontainer.json the key intelephense.stubs has "WordPress" in its value.

3. Remove unecessary configs for WordPress development such as:

   1. aswinkumar863.smarty-template-support in devcontainer.json

4. Delete .git and start your own repository.

5. Place your files in /src.

6. Press CTRL + Shift + P and select Rebuild Container Without.

For WHMCS development

1. In devcontainer.json, change the key php-cs-fixer.config to .php-cs-fixer.php and then delete the file php-cs-fixer-wp.php.
2. Remove "WordPres" stub from devcontainer.json -> intelephense.stubs.

Recommended extensions

Take a look at extensions.json and search these extensions in VS Code markteplace.

How to change PHP version

1. In .devcontainer/devcontainer.json, the image: key refers to the PHP image version. You must change this to change the PHP version of the container.

2. Also in devcontainer.json, set the PHP version for the Intelephense suggestions in the intelephense.environment.phpVersion key.

docker-php-dev-container's Issues

Personal experience

• High CPU usage.
• High average CPU temperatures (70º-80º).
• Containers disconnects from Docker (apparently when swap memory gets full..?).

So, in my experience, performance and efficient resources usage are the main problems of working with Dev Container and Docker.
