Docker v23 on linux causes devcontainer dockerfile to fail with eof

[nickbabcock]

I have a pretty simple setup

.devcontainer/devcontainer.json

{
  "build": {
    "dockerfile": "Dockerfile"
  }
}

.devcontainer/Dockerfile

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/base:debian

When I execute:

devcontainer build --workspace-folder .

It fails with:

I'm assuming this has something to do with Docker v23 (released a couple days ago) making buildkit the default on linux.

I'm happy to provide more info about my environment if that'll help -- or if there is a better repo to report this issue.

I found maybe a possible relating problem while digging into buildx issues: docker/buildx#1325.

I posted in another issue, microsoft/vscode-remote-release#6814 (comment), but have a temporary solution

update the devcontainer.json to

"build": {
    "dockerfile": "Dockerfile",
    "args": {
         "VARIANT": "bullseye",
	 "BUILDKIT_INLINE_CACHE": "0"
    }
},

We got an answer in docker buildx project, a fix is in the pipe: docker/buildx#1325 (comment)
