I have added a devcontainer to the repository, it can be helpful to streamline and unify the development workflow. It provides a ros environment based on Ubuntu 20.04 with the duckietown shell installed and support for deployments on robots (mDNS discovery working).
Instructions to deploy are in the README.md.
There are some minor differences in setup between mac and linux, it might be best to remove these before merging.
One naive way to do so would be to create the directories
/var/run/dbusand/var/run/avahi-daemon/socketon macOS machines. In this way we can unify thedevcontainer.jsonfile for the two platforms. I actually don't remember why we need the former but the latter is required to enable mDNS on linux machines. On macOS mDNS is already provided by orbstack and the native network stack of the OS resolves the.localdomain using Bonjour.
