+# Devcontainer
+
+This devcontainer is very basic - it just provides a `node` version 18 container, with
+enough OS dependencies to work with repo tools and to play nice with VSC.
+
+The Dockerfile should roughly match that utilized by the GHA workflows.
+
+## Why?
+
+With the devcontainer runtime (Linux, node) matching GHA, tools should match and npm
+installs should match. npm installs are often binary, and platform-specific; though they
+should behave the same, there may be subtle differences. 
+
+Host dependencies can be avoided by installing them into the devcontainer. E.g. the
+proper version of node and npm, git, bash, make. This allows development on any platform
+which supports Docker and VSC.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+1. After starting the devcontainer with VSC, a terminal should open automaitcally. If not,
+open one.
+
+    The terminal should open inside the container:
+
+    ```shell
+    root@europa-ui:/workspace# 
+    ```
+
+2. Install dependencies:
+
+    ```shell
+    npm install
+    ```
+
+3. Run tests:
+
+    ```shell
+    npm run test . -- --coverage --verbose
+    ```
+
+4. Running devserver:
+
+    ```shell
+    npm run start
+    ```

+# Scripts with Docker
+
+Several of the scripts located in the `scripts` directory may be run through
+Docker Compose via the top-level `docker-compose.yml`.
+
+## Setup
+
+Before using the tool, you'll need to install `npm` packages. First you'll need
+to build the `node` image and shell into the container:
+
+```shell
+./tools/node/run npm ci
+```
+
+## Tests
+
+The test command line is wrapped in a bash script `scripts/test` and run in the
+node container:
+
+```shell
+./tools/node/run ./scripts/test
+```
+
+To run the tests continually (though this is preferrably done in the
+`devcontainer`):
+
+```shell
+WATCH=true ./tools/node/run ./scripts/test
+```
+
+## Build
+
+The build command line is wrapped in a bash script `scripts/build` and run in
+the node container. The build script is very similar to `build_deploy.sh`, but
+separate, as that script is used by the GHA workflows.
+
+```shell
+./tools/node/run ./scripts/build
+```
+
+or using the existing script `./scripts/build_deploy.sh`:
+
+```shell
+./tools/node/run ./scripts/build_deploy.sh
+```
+
+## Working in container
+
+If you desire to work in the container, you may start a `bash` shell:
+
+```shell
+./tools/node/run bash
+```
+
+You'll be dropped into the `/app` directory, which is the repo directory mounted
+into the container.
+
+Here you may perform maintenacne tasks such as updating `package.json`, or
+rebuilding `package-lock.json`.
+
+However, it is probably a better experience to work in the `devcontainer` to
+perform such tasks.
+
+## Run local server
+
+The environemt builds above may be run through the nginx server container. The
+`scripts/server` script starts the nginx server container with the deploy
+environment specified in the environment variable `STATIC_ENVIRONMENT`, which
+defaults to `ci-europa`.
+
+To run the server against CI:
+
+```shell
+STATIC_ENVIRONMENT=ci ./scripts/server
+```
+
+and for all other environments:
+
+```shell
+STATIC_ENVIRONMENT=ci-europa ./scripts/server
+STATIC_ENVIRONMENT=narrative-dev ./scripts/server
+STATIC_ENVIRONMENT=next ./scripts/server
+STATIC_ENVIRONMENT=appdev ./scripts/server
+STATIC_ENVIRONMENT=production ./scripts/server
+```
