Developing using codespaces only

anjanesh

Is it possible to run an entire Django 4.x app on GitHub codespaces using https://github.com/github/codespaces-django ?

There will be some ₂₀-30 pip packages like widgets and all.

If this is possible, then I could move around with a ChromeBook and code and run this on codespaces and occasionally deploy to OpalStack using GitHub Actions ?

I am thinking if in the near future I can spend 90% (financially) on servers and github pro & codespaces then I can do with any laptop while on the move. And I wouldn't need to worry about my primary laptop crashing etc. I can just switch to another low-end laptop instantaneously and resume work.

This question is similar to this but wanted to know from a 100% Django point-of-view with all venv and pip commands etc.

I don't see why you shouldn't be able to do this. The codespaces-django repo is already a Django 4.x project so I tried the following:

Started a new codespace with codespaces-django.
Modified the included requirements.txt to add a couple of packages.
Ran pip install -r requirements.txt in the codespace terminal to install them.
Restarted the dev server in the codespace.

Everything worked as expected.
