Simplified haskell devcontainer.

[PiotrJustyna]

Proposing a new version of this dockerfile as the current one:

• does not work on the new apple silicon machines
• or on corporate machines where ssl certifications stop the ghcup installation.

The dockerfile is a bit simplified following the official ghcup installation instructions + the installation script is supplemented with GHCUP_CURL_OPTS variable which handles problematic ssl certificates (better solutions to this welcome!).Thank you @hasufell for suggesting to use the bootstrap variables (e.g. ghc version).

Linked issues I recently started:

• curl + ssl problems  haskell/ghcup-hs#696
• Haskell - ghcup not installing correctly #1692

I can confirm this works on an M1 MacBook pro and am hoping the community devcontainers for Haskell start supporting that platform soon.

You can set BOOTSTRAP_HASKELL_GHC_VERSION to install a specific GHC version.

You probably also want BOOTSTRAP_HASKELL_NONINTERACTIVE=1.

For a full list of env vars affecting the bootstrap, see https://github.com/haskell/ghcup-hs/blob/master/scripts/bootstrap/bootstrap-haskell#L7

Oh, fantastic, thank you. Exactly what I wanted. Updating my PR now.

Added some bootstrap variables:

• non interactive installation
• ghc version dictated by the devcontainer template
• cabal version defined explicitly

Unfortunately, no option to define cabal and hls versions explicitly, but in the previous version of the dockerfile those were defaulted to recommended anyway.

Proponiendo una nueva versión de este dockerfile como la actual:

• no funciona en las nuevas máquinas de silicona de Apple
• o en máquinas corporativas donde las certificaciones ssl detienen la instalación de ghcup.

El dockerfile se simplifica un poco siguiendo las instrucciones oficiales de instalación de ghcup + el script de instalación se complementa con GHCUP_CURL_OPTSuna variable que maneja los certificados SSL problemáticos (¡mejores soluciones para esta bienvenida!). Gracias.@hasufellpor sugerir usar las variables de arranque (por ejemplo, versión ghc).

Problemas vinculados que comencé recientemente:

• problemas de curl + ssl  haskell/ghcup-hs#696
• Haskell - ghcup no se instala correctamente  #1692

Puedo confirmar que esto funciona en una MacBook pro M1 y espero que los contenedores de desarrollo de la comunidad para Haskell comiencen a admitir esa plataforma pronto.
