Description
- VSCode Version: 1.68.0
- Local OS Version: Win11 22H2
- Remote OS Version: N/A
- Remote Extension/Connection Type: Containers/WSL
- Logs:
Steps to Reproduce:
Have docker installed in your default WSL2 distribution, but not in Windows itself (i.e. not through Docker Desktop, as it's not free). Reference guide: https://dev.to/felipecrs/simply-run-docker-on-wsl2-3o8
I suppose it should automatically be fallback to searching for docker in WSL2, as it works normally when I open the devcontainer from within VS Code itself.
