devcontainer | Run and use devcontainer outside of Visual Studio Code | Code Editor library

I did this on my devcontainer.json as specified here:

I have a nice project with a .devcontainer config. Since the vscode update to 1.63 I have some trouble with the docker setup. Now I'm using the newest 1.64.0

I just want to build a new container with a clean volume an start in a fresh environment.

What happens is, that a new container is starting and I see some stuff from another container. Same if I clone a git repo into a container volume.

1. Why are some containers connected with the same volume for the workspace?
2. Why do I fall back every time to the same volume?

In the devcontainer.json I set:

In a repo, we have a pre-commit configuration that requires version 2.2.1 of prettier:

Trying to build a docker image with the execution of a pre-requisites installation script inside the Dockerfile fails for fetching packages via apt-get from archive.ubuntu.com.

Using the apt-get command inside the Dockerfile works flawless, despite being behind a corporate proxy, which is setup via the ENV command in the Dockerfile. Anyway, executing the apt-get command from a bash-script in a terminal inside the resulting docker container or as "postCreateCommand" in a devcontainer.json of Visual Studio Code does work as expected too. But it won't work in my case for the invocation of a bash script from inside a Dockerfile. It simply will tell:

I'm trying to preconfigure a private container registry in a CodeSpace so workshop participants can use it. According to the docs it's all pretty straight forward, but it looks like I'm missing something, because it won't work, and the docs aren't clear on what I need to expect on the receiving end.

What I've done so far:

• I have a custom CodeSpace container image that inherits from univesal-linux:1.6.4
• I have configured the 3 documented variables:
  • GH_CONTAINER_REGISTRY_SERVER=ghcr.io
  • GH_CONTAINER_REGISTRY_USER=jessehouwing
  • GH_CONTAINER_REGISTRY_PASSWORD=PAT with Packages (Read) permission

• I have rebuilt the codespace
• I tried a different prefix than GH_ to no avail.

If I read the docs correctly, this should make sure docker can pull from ghcr using my credentials, but all I get is an error:

I'm trying out Github codespaces, specifically the "Node.js & Mongo DB" default settings.

The port is forwarded, and my objective is to connect with MongoDB Compass running on my local machine.

The address forwarded to 27017 is something like https://.githubpreview.dev/

I attempted to use the following connection string, but it did not work in MongoDB compass. It failed with No addresses found at host. I'm actually unsure about how I even determine if MongoDB is actually running in the Github codespace?

I'm trying to use the "Node.js & Mongo DB" devcontainer from Microsoft (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-dev-containers/tree/main/containers/javascript-node-mongo/.devcontainer) with my udp server made in Nodejs.

The problem is as follows: When i try to forward a port in devcontainer.json example : "forwardPorts": [1117].

It seems to only forward 1117/tcp when i actually want to forward 1117/udp.

I'm trying to making this work for this project : https://github.com/QuentinGruber/h1z1-server/blob/master/.devcontainer/devcontainer.json

I have a repo which runs python on a docker container. Recently I have a purchased a new mac, and on this new workstation, this container is not building successfully when I try to open it with remote-container plug in from VS code.

I'm having trouble installing a specific version of Python in my Github Codespace with VSCode. I don't have much experience with Docker, so this is turning into a really frustrating experience.

Here's my Dockerfile. It seems to always default to Python 3.8– how can I get it to install the latest version of 3.7?
