Works for me on WSL v2 and Windows 11. Don't have access to codespaces, so can't test there

Sorry, still the same problem in Codespaces:

So it seems codespaces make something really bad 😕 I really like to have codespace access to debug that

@fgreinacher Can you test again?

@fgreinacher Can you test again?

Sure! Same problem with root in the Dockerfile. It's working though when I change remoteUser to root.

So the /tmp is still missing the writable flag for others?

[fgreinacher]

No unix permissions pro, but the permissions don't seem to allow user to create files:

Not sure, but the group section does not have the w flag set, which seems a bit weird to me.

I think we should run as root too. the vscode containers will do so too.

> docker run --rm -it mcr.microsoft.com/vscode/devcontainers/javascript-node:16 bash -c 'echo $EUID'
0

That will fix the permission issues

It's working now with a fresh Codespace!

It's working now with a fresh Codespace!

With root or the version before?

[fgreinacher]

With the recent version, root in the Dockerfile

Does this mean Codespaces will work out of the box?

Does this mean Codespaces will work out of the box?

Yes. @fgreinacher tested it.

[fgreinacher]

Yes, it works flawlessly with newly created Codespaces 🎉

I thought codespaces was open to everyone now?
