 Development container that can be used with VSCode.
 
-It works on Linux, Windows and OSX.
+It works on Linux, Windows (WSL2) and OSX.
 
 ## Requirements
 
 - [VS code](https://code.visualstudio.com/download) installed
-- [VS code remote containers extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers) installed
+- [VS code dev containers extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers) installed
 - [Docker](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop) installed and running
-    - If you don't use Linux or WSL 2, share your home directory `~/` and the directory of your project with Docker Desktop
-- [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) installed
-- Ensure your host has the following and that they are accessible by Docker:
-    - `~/.ssh` directory
-    - `~/.gitconfig` file (can be empty)
 
 ## Setup
 
+1. Create the following files and directory on your host if you don't have them:
+
+    ```sh
+    touch ~/.gitconfig ~/.zsh_history
+    mkdir -p ~/.ssh
+    ```
+
+1. **For OSX hosts**: ensure the project directory and your home directory `~` are accessible by Docker.
 1. Open the command palette in Visual Studio Code (CTRL+SHIFT+P).
-1. Select `Remote-Containers: Open Folder in Container...` and choose the project directory.
-1. For Docker running on Windows HyperV, if you want to use SSH keys, bind mount them at `/tmp/.ssh` by changing the `volumes` section in the [docker-compose.yml](docker-compose.yml).
+1. Select `Dev-Containers: Open Folder in Container...` and choose the project directory.
 
 ## Customization
 
-### Customize the image
+For any customization to take effect, you should "rebuild and reopen":
 
-You can make changes to the [Dockerfile](Dockerfile) and then rebuild the image. For example, your Dockerfile could be:
+1. Open the command palette in Visual Studio Code (CTRL+SHIFT+P)
+2. Select `Dev-Containers: Rebuild Container`
 
-```Dockerfile
-FROM qmcgaw/godevcontainer
-USER root
-RUN apk add curl
-USER vscode
-```
+Changes you can make are notably:
 
-Note that you may need to use `USER root` to build as root, and then change back to `USER vscode`.
+- Changes to the Docker image in [Dockerfile](Dockerfile)
+- Changes to VSCode **settings** and **extensions** in [devcontainer.json](devcontainer.json).
+- Change the entrypoint script by adding a bind mount in [devcontainer.json](devcontainer.json) of a shell script to `/root/.welcome.sh` to replace the [current welcome script](https://github.com/qdm12/godevcontainer/blob/master/shell/.welcome.sh). For example:
 
-To rebuild the image, either:
-
-- With VSCode through the command palette, select `Remote-Containers: Rebuild and reopen in container`
-- With a terminal, go to this directory and `docker-compose build`
-
-### Customize VS code settings
-
-You can customize **settings** and **extensions** in the [devcontainer.json](devcontainer.json) definition file.
-
-### Entrypoint script
-
-You can bind mount a shell script to `/home/vscode/.welcome.sh` to replace the [current welcome script](shell/.welcome.sh).
-
-### Publish a port
-
-To access a port from your host to your development container, publish a port in [docker-compose.yml](docker-compose.yml).
-
-### Run other services
-
-1. Modify [docker-compose.yml](docker-compose.yml) to launch other services at the same time as this development container, such as a test database:
-
-    ```yml
-      database:
-        image: postgres
-        restart: always
-        environment:
-          POSTGRES_PASSWORD: password
+    ```json
+    // Welcome script
+    {
+        "source": "/yourpath/.welcome.sh",
+        "target": "/root/.welcome.sh",
+        "type": "bind"
+    },
     ```
 
-1. In [devcontainer.json](devcontainer.json), change the line `"runServices": ["vscode"],` to `"runServices": ["vscode", "database"],`.
-1. In the VS code command palette, rebuild the container.
+- More options are documented in the [devcontainer.json reference](https://containers.dev/implementors/json_reference/).

-One of the following is required:
+Important notes:
 
-- Publicly accessible URL to a zip file containing the Openvpn configuration files
-- Publicly accessible URL to a structured (JSON etc.) list of servers **and attach** an example Openvpn configuration file for both TCP and UDP
+- There is no need to support both OpenVPN and Wireguard for a provider, but it's better to support both if possible
+- We do **not** implement authentication to access servers information behind a login. This is way too time consuming unfortunately
+- If it's not possible to support a provider natively, you can still use the [the custom provider](https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/blob/main/setup/providers/custom.md)
+
+## For Wireguard
+
+Wireguard can be natively supported ONLY if:
+
+- the `PrivateKey` field value is the same across all servers for one user account
+- the `Address` field value is:
+  - can be found in a structured (JSON etc.) list of servers publicly available; OR
+  - the same across all servers for one user account
+- the `PublicKey` field value is:
+  - can be found in a structured (JSON etc.) list of servers publicly available; OR
+  - the same across all servers for one user account
+- the `Endpoint` field value:
+  - can be found in a structured (JSON etc.) list of servers publicly available
+  - can be determined using a pattern, for example using country codes in hostnames
+
+If any of these conditions are not met, Wireguard cannot be natively supported or there is no advantage compared to using a custom Wireguard configuration file.
+
+If **all** of these conditions are met, please provide an answer for each of them.
+
+## For OpenVPN
+
+OpenVPN can be natively supported ONLY if one of the following can be provided, by preference in this order:
+
+- Publicly accessible URL to a structured (JSON etc.) list of servers **and attach** an example Openvpn configuration file for both TCP and UDP; OR
+- Publicly accessible URL to a zip file containing the Openvpn configuration files; OR
 - Publicly accessible URL to the list of servers **and attach** an example Openvpn configuration file for both TCP and UDP
-
-If the list of servers requires to login **or** is hidden behind an interactive configurator,
-you can only use a custom Openvpn configuration file.
