Problem or motivation

I want to use devsy on the host machine (in this case windows with wsl and docker engine install on it as well as project files to have better file system performance with docker volume ...). Right now i use devsy and vs codium on wsl thanks to wslg but I have graphical problem with them and I think a more solid approach while keepping docker volume performance would be to have devsy and vs codium on windows while docker engine and projects files on wsl. I can't use ssh because wsl don't have proper hostname and ip can change that would be annoying to update everytime. In any case, thanks for your great tool !

Proposed solution

The only way to make it work would be devsy have a specialized wsl docker provider

Alternatives considered

Or a provider that support docker cli with an already configured context setup for using docker engine from wsl

Area

Acceptance criteria

  • [] User can create a provider that can use docker engine on wsl without ssh hack
  • [] devcontainer can be built and run this way
  • [] devcontainer volume can use project files inside wsl filesystem
  • [] Ide can connect to devcontainer
