Vscode-docker: VSCode with Docker Preview MacOs (M1)

Created on 8 Jan 2021 · 9Comments · Source: microsoft/vscode-docker

Looking for a workaround in order to run Docker (Preview) in VSCode for development on my new MacBook Pro via the Docker Extension.

Is there a way to do so? I have downloaded Docker Preview, but still getting "Docker Desktop is not installed. Would you like to install it?" from the extension.

Thanks.

investigate

We're still working on getting a hold of an M1, so we'd love to work with you on this in the meantime! What do you see if you run docker -v in the integrated terminal in VSCode?

For reference, the only Docker I have installed is Docker Preview now. Let me know if I should be re-download the regular version as well

@philliphoff I'm not too familiar with the M1's or the Docker Preview for them, do you know more about what @csanders1999 should expect to see here?

I've been lobbying for an M1 but haven't gotten my hands on one yet, so I can only speculate. My first thought would be that it's simply a path issue--that is, that the shells spawned by the extension within the context of the VS Code process to run Docker commands don't have docker in the PATH. I've seen such issues happen before on my (non-M1) Mac.

@csanders1999 I assume you're able to run docker commands in the Mac terminal? Which shell are you using in the Mac terminal, and are you using that same shell when using integrated VS Code terminals?

I am using zsh in VS Code and I got docker -vto produce Docker version 20.10.1, build 831ebeae96. I can also right click on the Dockerfile and Build Image. However, I am unsure how to reopen my project in a container. On my previous Mac, it was in the bottom lefthand corner
