Clojurians Log v2

I'm a big fan of tap> and Portal for debugging.

I have just tried to set Portal up inside Calva, without any luck so far. My Clojure service is dockerized and I am exposing the nrepl to host - connecting Calva via "Connect to a running REPL". Do you by any chance know of a resource that explains how to get it to work with docker (seeing that you have an extensive https://github.com/seancorfield/vscode-calva-setup working 🙂)?

That setup includes examples of Joyride creating an ssh tunnel and connecting to a remote nREPL and setting Portal up (copying the port file to the remote server). I use it with a VPN but the ports are open. If you're running Clojure in Docker for development (why would anyone do that???) you'll need more ports open/proxied and you'll have to ask in #portal for details on that.

Thanks, will give that a try. Running in Docker because I have a handful of microservices (python, node.js etc.) that all get spun up in a single docker compose up call and that interface through a shared network bridge. I guess I could still run clojure directly on the host but spinning the environment up wouldn't be as convenient.

I use Docker (w/compose) for Elastic Search, MySQL, and Redis, but run Clojure directly on the host -- well, in my case on WSL2 for Windows, with VS Code on the Windows side. Dealing with dev tools that open random ports makes Docker a PITA.

yes seems like it's a PITA... well I'll let you know if end up going the Docker way and somehow get it to work, or switch to Clojure on host - which would require me to rewrite my integrant system config to connect to the other microservices on localhost rather than virtual host names like http://mjml-server etc. It kind of makes for a nice separation, but may not be worth it after all...

In case someone stumbles upon this later I got it to work with Clojure inside Docker with this config:

(do
  (require '[portal.api :as p])

  (def p (p/open {:port 7123           ;; port needs to be mapped to host in Docker
                  :launcher :vs-code
                  :launcher-config {:host "host.docker.internal"}}))
