attach to running container

[jango-fx]

is it possible with devpodcontainers to attach to a running docker container on a remote machine?

i would love to make a complete switch from VSCode to Codium, but one of my workflows to date consists of attaching my local VSCode-IDE to a Docker container running on a remote Server (via the remote-ssh and remote-containers extensions in VSCode) and so far i wasn't able to replicate this with open-remote-ssh extension and vscodium-devpodcontainers.

i'm not very well versed in devpod, though. the VSCode extensions just worked very intuitively out-of-the-box for my setup, and i'm wondering if it is possible at all?

Hi @jango-fx,

I haven’t tried it personally, but devpod has a concept of “provider” which from my understanding is responsible for (remote) container creation. https://devpod.sh/docs/managing-providers/what-are-providers. I even created an issue for that, but never started working on it since never use remote containers

I don’t know how VS Code’s “attach to container” works, so perhaps you could tell me whether providers are similar to that or not.
