Custom entrypoint/bootstrap support for dev containers

Open Dids opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Tell us about your request When opening a VSCode project and creating a dev container from a working Dev Environment, the dev container doesn't seem to run through any kind of bootstrap logic and skips any custom Dockerfile entrypoints. This makes development hard, as we can't bootstrap the dev container with certain sensitive data, such as adding an SSH key as a secret and running it through ssh-add.

Which service(s) is this request for? Docker for Mac + Dev Environments.

Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard? Already described in the feature request, but I'm effectively trying to turn a dev container into an out-of-the-box development environment, where I can pull and push code changes whenever I want, but also without compromising security. Now, I'm not entirely familiar with how VSCode dev/remote containers work, so I could be misunderstanding or even misconfuring something, so feel free to correct me on this!

Are you currently working around the issue? No, haven't found a way around it.
