open workspace in already cloned docker volume

[Ben Wilkinson (brwilkinson)]

I am trying to figure out the best workflow to re-open a workspace and devcontainer from a docker volume.

docker volume ls
DRIVER    VOLUME NAME
local     ADF

I have already cloned the repo to this volume previously.

Should I just follow this link to open it again? If I do that it doesn't actually open the workspace, so I have to do that second click to have it open after the devcontainer has started.

I can see the volume via windows explorer \\wsl.localhost\docker-desktop-data\data\docker\volumes\ADF

I am trying to figure out the best way to reopen the workspace from the volume ?

Perhaps can mount the volume in a different WSL instance?
Or perhaps there is an alternate vscode workflow or shortcut to follow?

I would like to be able to launch it with devcontainer if I could somehow point to the workspace folder on the docker volume?

• devcontainer up --workspace-folder .\ADF\ --remove-existing-container
