Before pursuing a script like that though I think we should make sure there's some way we can make it possible to build and run docker containers from within this dev container. Do we just need to add some binding for `unix:///var/run/docker.sock`? This [blog post](https://jpetazzo.github.io/2015/09/03/do-not-use-docker-in-docker-for-ci/) has a suggestion: ``` docker run -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock ... ``` If that makes it possible to run `./gradlew :sdks:python:container:py37:docker` and we can roll it into a `start-build-env.sh` script I'd be in favor ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
