Developing inside a container on a remote Docker host

[RogerYong]

I have read Developing inside a container on a remote Docker host.

Is it feasible that combine the Remote-SSH and Remote-Containers?

Two vscode servers.

One vscode server runs on remote docker host. Source code, devcontainer.json and Dockerfile are saved in remote host.

The other runs in container for code intellisense, running and debugging

Thanks for submitting this issue. Please also check if it is already covered by an existing one, like:

• Use Docker for remote linting (#68939)

The only case where we support having a devcontainer.json remotely is when starting from a repository on GitHub. Currently only public repositories are supported (#1578), with these you can:

• Check-in the devcontainer.json to GitHub.
• Change docker.host (and related settings if needed) to connect to the remote Docker daemon.
• F1 > Remote-Containers: Open Repository in Container...
• Specify the GitHub repository.

We could think about supporting having the devcontainer.json available on an SSH host that also run a Docker daemon. The image building could be done in a container like we do for the repository case. Marking as feature request. /cc @egamma

This is potentially a dupe of #20.

[chrmarti]

True, merging with that.
