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

Windows 10 Docker Desktop on WSL2

Goal: serve an angular app from my devcontainer over my local network (specifically for testing on mobile)

Reproduce:

1. Create a hello world angular application in a clean git repo
2. clone the repo into a new devcontainer (Typescript/Node)
3. serve the applcation

Things I've tried (and every permutation herein):

• --network=host (Never worked on windows, but thought it might on WSL2 - doesn't)
• EXPOSE 4200
• runArgs: "-p 4200:4200"
• appPort: [4200]
• opening port 4200 on PC firewall
• ng serve --host 0.0.0.0 --port 4200

Additional Information:

• ng serve does allow me to view the site on my host machine
• cloning the repo to my host and running ng serve --host 0.0.0.0 does allow me to access the site over my network (but moving in and out of the devcontainer isn't reasonable)

My current DockerFile is pretty vanilla:

Is it possible to open files in a Docker container in my local operating system outside of the container using the Remote Development extension for VSCode (such as using right-click 'Open in Explorer' as in the Remote - WSL extension for VSCode)

I tried to:

• Build Docker Image Without Context
• Mount filesystem Volume so that I could access files in my operating system from my container without copying.

To build without context I can use docker build - < Dockerfile (see docker docs).

I can mount files via docker run -v : IMAGE_NAME (as discussed here, and in docker docs here)

From the devcontainer.json reference it's possible to pass build args to Docker build in your devcontainer.json but this doesn't work for the - < as vscode-dev-containers defaults to including build context...

The extension also also automatically runs a container after build so I'm not sure how to override this.

Any tips would be much appreciated!

I have a LAMP app that is running with a docker-compose deployment.

docker-compose.yml:

I am using Windows, installed Docker (using lunix containers), installed VS Code and the devcontainer extension. I loaded a project which is using Nugets from a private NugetFeed and as i am trying to restore (interactive) the NugetPackages I am getting a 401 error from my NugetFeed.
