The dockerized development environment is a container, created via a Dockerfile, that contains all the tools required for building, deploying and testing the COVID-19 App System locally.
The root of your cloned repository is mapped into /workspace within the container, and your ~/.aws folder to /root/.aws within the container.
Changes made to files/folders anywhere else in the container's filespace are not persisted when the container is exited.
The build tasks, used for setup, detect AWS credentials and automatically configure them in the container. They also mount the correct volumes in the container.
If the credentials file, created with aws configure, is not found, the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY environment variables are used.
The AWS profile used can be controlled with the AWS_PROFILE environment variable.
The build system must first be provisioned, as described in the environment pre-requisites.
Then, from the root of the repository, run the following convenience tasks:
Pull the docker container image
rake provision:devenv:pullRun the docker image
rake devenv-
In order to be able to start Docker, make sure you have Hyper-V enabled and running. In case you use Intel HAXM for virtualization (i.e. Android Virtual Devices use Intel HAXM), when Hyper-V is running, Intel HAXM is not able to start a virtual device, so Hyper-V needs to be turned off and the machine restarted.

If you get an error running
