Closes #623

Launching the local development server within a VS Code devcontainer:

Is it possible to add more details instructions on how to set this up in the vscode dev page? Maybe just adding an extra section there with a few lines about how to set up this specific devcontainer.

Also notably, the added command failed for me so I'd probably like to debug this with you offline when you get a chance

The VS Code dev page focuses solely on the main rucio/rucio repository and doesn't address other repos like documentation, containers or helm-charts. Adopting standardized development environments (devcontainers or similar) across all Rucio repositories would enable one-click setup and remove manual configuration barriers for multi-repo contributors.

We should wait for an agreed-upon approach before implementing this. Otherwise we'll need separate documentation for each repository's setup. For now, I'd suggest only keeping the note in the README.md since it's specific to this repository (rucio/documentation).

Could you share:

• Error logs/output from the failed command
• Your system info (OS, Docker version, VS Code version)
• Which specific command failed

This will help us troubleshoot more efficiently. Feel free to reach out offline whenever works for you.
