Visual studio code devcontainer error reading from server: EOF

Question

I'm trying to do a devcontainer setup with vscode on linux (fedora 37) but I always get the error you can see in the image link below

failed to receive status: rpc error: code = Unavailable desc = error reading from server: EOF

These are my configuration files:

Dockerfile:

        }
    },
    "workspaceMount":"source=${localWorkspaceFolder},target=/workspace,type=bind,consistency=cached",
    "workspaceFolder": "/workspace",
}

Thank you very much for the help

The information I found on the internet says that the problem is docker, but docker is fine.

I run my docker build and it finishes successfully, but devconteiner throws the error every time

This is most likely related to a bug in Docker stack, introduced in recent Docker 23 (check your version to make sure the below applies to you).

VSC issue: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/7958. There you can find a workaround and links to upstream trackers that deal with the issue directly.

I can confirm the workaround of disabling BUILDKIT_INLINE_CACHE works, that is setting the following in .devcontainer.json allows for VSC to start:

{
    "build": {
        "args": {
            "BUILDKIT_INLINE_CACHE": "0"
        }
    }
}

The issue itself is supposed to be fixed already, but may not have landed in your distribution yet.

Thank you so much!! I checked the links and verified my docker version and certanly it was 23.0.0 version, I upgraded to 23.0.1 and the problem was fixed. I was thinking the problem was related to the dev container plugin itself, never thought it was a docker bug

I have this issue with 23.0.1 as well...

That's weird - for me 23.0.1 fixed the issue as well.
