devpod provider use github.com/akyriako/devpod-provider-opentelekomcloud

Pre-requisites

You will need to provision to your tenant the following resources before being able to use the DevPod provider:

• A VPC Network & a Subnet with internet access
• A Security Group allowing port 22 (If not provided it will be created automatically)
• A NAT Gateway and its associated Elastic IP address (only if NAT Gateway is going to be used otherwise VMs can be accessed directly using an Elastic IP address that will be automatically allocated or released)
• An AK/SK pair in the region and project that the VMs are going to be provisioned

Development

Emulate a Proxy Server

If you want to emulate a proxy server in your development environment, create the following container and set its IP as the PROXY_HOST value:

docker run --name 3proxy -d \
    -p "3128:3128/tcp" \
    -p "1080:1080/tcp" \
    ghcr.io/tarampampam/3proxy:latest
