I use Development containers (dev-containers) as demonstrated by Claude Code's docs https://code.claude.com/docs/en/devcontainer

It all integrates nicely with VS Code. It has a firewall script and you spin up your database within the docker compose file so it has full access to a postgres instance. I can share my full setup if anyone needs it.

This would be lovely and much appreciated!

Devcontainers look perfect but also like a bit of a burden to entry with regards to setup.

Here is the setup I use. It installs Python, uv, Claude Code, npm, and pnpm. Tested in VS Code and Cursor. https://davidbern.com/blog/2026/claude-code-dev-containers/
