vagrant ssh
sudo su

You could also visit http://192.168.46.10:8000 to access the codespaces env.

Option 2: Setting up a codespaces environment with Docker

  • Clone the git repo
git clone https://github.com/codespaces-io/codespaces.git

Start Codespaces IDE

After installing Docker-Engine and Docker-Compose, change directory into the corresponding tool you want to learn. For example, let us assume that you want to learn puppet. In that case,

cd cs-ansible

Then all you need to do is to run

docker-compose up -d

This single command will initialize your Codespaces IDE.

Use Codespaces IDE

To use Codespaces IDE,

  • Open your browser.
  • Visit your machine's IP with port 8000. (Ex. http://192.168.0.60:8080)
  • You will be asked for your e-mail address. Enter it and you are good to go.

Email

  • Now you will be presented with the Codespaces IDE console.
