Description

@MythreyaK

A generic list of nice-to-have features, in no particular order

  • ssh-agent forwarding SSH agent forwarding into local and remote devcontainers #5
  • devcontainer over ssh (partial support, see exec-chaining: devcontainer on remote ssh #2)
  • install extra extensions after server install is complete --install-extensions during server install makes them "built-in" and uninstallable #7
  • settings.json merge {...remoteWorkspace, ...remoteMachine, ...local}
    • side-effect: right now, default extensions must be set on remote for it to work
  • support for more schema keys
    • features
    • portsAttributes
    • customizations.vscode.settings
    • shutdownAction (parsed but not enforced)
    • hostRequirements
    • waitFor
  • .gitconfig copy
    • with worktree mount support?
  • installScript.sh: sh compatibility
  • rebuild from one window should not race with other open windows.
    • Add lockfile. Other windows should ideally stream the same log instead of just hanging or failing to connect
  • Per-workspace podman/docker args
  • Build devcontainer without opening in remote. Useful to debug build issues
  • Test with non-native arch
  • Attach to existing containers (also ties into stdio/stdout exec streaming for everything)
    • Maybe integrate with ms-azuretools.vscode-containers for extra context-menu options (Say attach, open shell...)?
  • Some sort of windows support?
  • apple containers support?
