[Koha-devel] Setting up Koha Testing Docker

[Nick Clemens]

1 - On Linux you do not need Docker Desktop - I have docker.io and
docker-compose - I set this up long ago, so don't remember the steps, but
you should not require a licence
2 - That is up to you. For editing code I think most developers use an IDE
or something outside the docker container - I personally tend to work from
within the container, but it is not necessary. Tests etc should be run in
the container
3 - If you work inside the container then git-bz and all should be
installed - it looks like work is being done to get the hools automatically
installed (https://gitlab.com/koha-community/koha-misc4dev/-/issues/59) -
if you work outside the container, then yes, installing git bz and
pre-commit hook should get you well started
