Hi! I am new to open source, but if this task is available I'd love to be assigned it. I've already looked at building the devcontainer.

I tried to piece together what I could in terms of development environment needs, but I am wondering if there are any specific extensions or packages you need installed?

I have a devcontainer pointing to the docker-compose-dev.yaml with the service set as redis. Since the service is redis it loads the environment as alpine which does not by default include git, docker, or docker-compose so they will need to be installed with the postStartCommand. I have the forward port as 7091 from your documentation. Other ports appear to be opened from the docker-compose-dev.yaml or setup.sh.

I was starting to work on a setup script when I looked over your docs again and realized someone had spent time making one already! If you'd like to explore the route of the devcontainer executing the setup.sh on start up with a specific argument it would be an easy change for the script to accept those arguments in addition to the user based entry.

Let me know if I can help, I'd love to contribute to your project!
