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.
Change the permissions for SSH keys to 600 (readable only by the owner; other users cannot read or write).
