Troubleshooting Dev Container issues

The following are some issues that might arise and solutions that can help you during your work with Dev Containers.

I have the Empty Building Dev Container dialog with disabled buttons

Try to check Docker, and if it hangs, restart it.

For Windows 10, connection by SSH is very slow

Upgrade the OpenSSH version to 8.5 or later.

Git clone doesn't work, and the opened project in client is empty despite added keys

Try to check the following:

  • Check if the OpenSSH Client is in your PATH in the System variables: C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH\ and restart OS.

  • Run commands for running SSH agent and add keys.

  • Make permissions for SSH keys not so "open" to be able to add keys, otherwise the adding fails.
