Please add to the readme how to run standalone with just an ssh server

[krasi-georgiev]

I am running balena OS and it has a modified version of docker so I am not able to connect to the docker daemon remotely.
Instead, I am thinking to just start a development container with ssh and using the vs-code remote ssh extension to develop on the balena device remotely.

I looked through the docs and tried few commands, but couldn't figure out how to start a ssh server so that vs-code can connect to it remotely.

Also looked at this video, but the sshd service doesn't exist in the images I tried - base:0-debian11, base:0-buster

docker run -it --init --rm mcr.microsoft.com/vscode/devcontainers/base:0-buster

SSH is not in any of these images by default and VS Code does not use it to communicate with the container. We have a script you can use to add it. https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-dev-containers/blob/main/script-library/docs/sshd.md

The main thing you'll need to do in this scenario that you do not with VS Code is expose the SSH server port. By default that is on 2222 with this script. You might need to tweak the SSH config to allow connections from things other than localhost. This is not really a scenario we've focused on to date.

docker run -it -p 2222:2222 --init --rm mcr.microsoft.com/vscode/devcontainers/base:0-buster
