Latex development container for VS-Code Desktop/Code-Server in Coder

Coder is an open source platform for creating and managing cloud development environments on your infrastructure and deploying cloud development environments via Terraform that supports Linux, macOS, Windows, X86, ARM, Kubernetes and more. More information can be found here: https://coder.com.

Help needed

• The extensions and settings should be installed in code-server by default. The settings.json and extensions.json in .vscode should be used.
• The project folders should not only be saved in the container, but also on the hard disk so that the data are not lost when the container is restarted or reinstalled.

Please write the lines of code and send a PR.

Notice: For test purposes, I have set the install scheme-full to install scheme-small in texlive.profile.

Thanks for the help

Select a scheme

The recommendation is: install scheme-full

Change the first line in the texlive.profile file, in which the scheme-full option is set by default.

selected_scheme scheme-full

i scheme-context: ConTeXt scheme
i scheme-full: full scheme (everything)
i scheme-gust: GUST TeX Live scheme
i scheme-infraonly: infrastructure-only scheme (no TeX at all)
