Steps to Reproduce: The issue occurs on the latest version of the Dev Containers extension (0.338.1) but not on 0.327.0. We host Linux VMs with Linux containers and programmatically connect to the remote Linux container using the Dev Containers extension as part of our service.

Does this issue occur when you try this locally?: No Does this issue occur when you try this locally and all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No

Similar problem in MacOS M2 Pro when trying Attach Visual Studio Code

And my error notification goes as

Error running command remote-containers.attachToRunningContainerFromViewlet: Command failed: docker inspect --type container 20a3f19a42c42bc23ad1f920cc657748554d7560c57c06254b88c9b935a5d9e9. This is likely caused by the extension that contributes remote-containers.attachToRunningContainerFromViewlet.

Running the failed command as follows mannually WORKS in bash

export DOCKER_HOST="tcp://1.2.3.4:2376"
export DOCKER_CERT_PATH=/Users/hello/.docker-world"
export DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY=1

docker inspect --type container 20a3f19a42c42bc23ad1f920cc657748554d7560c57c06254b88c9b935a5d9e9

where 1.2.3.4 is my desensitized remote server IP.

Possible cause may be that vscode disrespects docker.environment in settings.json and connects to the local docker daemon as indicated by following logs shown by Dev Containers Developer: Show All Logs

Local docker daemon's version is 1.44, and remote docker daemon's version is 1.43.

Really appreciate if someone can help~

Does this reproduce with VS Code 1.86.1? There is a chance this was a side-effect of https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/204344.

@arjunbalgovind shared the setup in private and I think I have a fix in 0.346.0-pre-release of the extension.

@sammyne I think yours might be a different issue, could you open a new issue if the latest pre-release doesn't fix it?

Thanks @sammyne!

@arjunbalgovind Confirmed the fix is working. Closing as verified, thanks!
