Bug: features index is not updated

[koralowiec]

I noticed that the features from collections that were added in _data/collection-index.yml in September (so starting with "Hauke's Features for Development Containers") are not listed on features page, and they don't appear in VS Code (for Dev Containers: Configure Container Features... command)

From my understanding the features are fetched from devcontainer-index.json file which is fetched during the page build step from image ghcr.io/devcontainers/index:latest. The last update of that image is from September 7th. I don't know where the image is build, so I don't know the process, but I assume that rebuilding the image and publishing it should update the devcontainer-index.json file, so fix the issue.

Looks like mine and Bas Steins (@sebst)'s features are now showing up on https://containers.dev/features, but Victor M. Varela (@vmvarela)'s still aren't...

I see that ghcr.io/devcontainers/index:latest was updated few hours ago, which probably triggered the update on the page

Also, I can see devcontainers-extra's feature being listed there as well

Looks like there was another update, so this seems fixed

Hi Brigit Murtaugh (@bamurtaugh)!

Right now there's no detailed information about the process of "indexing" the features - We only know that the indexed features are exposed in ghcr.io/devcontainers/index image, but we don't know how and when it's built. It would be nice to have that documented
