My project consists out of two components.
┌────────────────┐
│ Docker compose │http ┌─────────┐
│ (http server, ├─────►│ │
│ sql server │ │ Go app │
│ etc.) │ │ │
└────────────────┘ └─────────┘

│ incoming http
- A docker compose file containing multiple services (http-server, sql, auth server, etc.). Secondly
- A Go app with my custom app logic that the http-server directs certain queries too.
In VScode I usually start up the Docker compose in a Terminal to run all services, and then run the Go app in debug as it contains app logic and receives the http requests that the http-server forwards.
Both components can be build and deployed as a whole via ./Dockerfile.
I now want to run all of this into GitHub Codespaces but I am not sure how to organize my Docker files. Since Go isn't installed on the Github Codespaces machines, do I need a second Dockerfile in which my Codespace environment runs in like Dockerfile.codespace? Or do I need a Docker compose file instead that collects all components/services including Go?
