Integration with VSCode

[ksaur]

Hello, I would like to try to use nerdctl with VSCode. When VSCode starts, it checks for Docker with:

[342501 ms] Remote-Containers 0.194.3 in VS Code 1.60.2 (7f6ab5485bbc008386c4386d08766667e155244e).
[342501 ms] Start: Run: docker version --format {{.Server.APIVersion}}
[342637 ms] 
[342638 ms] Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?

My first thought was to point VSCode to point to lima nerdctl by using an environment variable to sub out docker. But this command gives the error of:

$ lima nerdctl version --format {{.Server.APIVersion}}
FATA[0000] template: :1:9: executing "" at <.Server.APIVersion>: can't evaluate field APIVersion in type *dockercompat.ServerVersion

Is there a current way to make VSCode work with nerdctl? If not, what needs to be done?

VS Code would need to be modified to support nerdctl

FWIW I just gave nerdctl a go with devcontainers & ran into the same issue. Hacked up a super simple bash shim to give vscode the right value for .Server.APIVersion but then ran into another CLI incompatibly. Missing --sig-proxy flag for the run command. I gave up at that point.
