Cant see a list of my containers and images

[zohimchandani]

I ssh into a machine which has docker installed.

Docker works properly as shown below:

zchandani@gorby:~$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID   IMAGE                                                COMMAND                  CREATED          STATUS          PORTS                                       NAMES
a20516b36995   be777eecadcf                                         "bash -l"                48 minutes ago   Up 48 minutes                                               cudaq40_zohim

However the list of images and containers does not show up when I open the docker extension like it used to approximately a month ago.

Any ideas what could be going wrong here? I need to attach vscode to my container so any terminal commands to do that would also help.

Thanks

What version of Docker do you have installed? What happens if you run docker container ls instead of docker ps?

[zohimchandani]

zchandani@gorby:~$ docker container ls
CONTAINER ID   IMAGE                                                COMMAND                  CREATED        STATUS       PORTS                                       NAMES

a20516b36995   be777eecadcf                                         "bash -l"                6 hours ago    Up 6 hours                                               cudaq40_zohim

The output of docker container ls and docker ps is both the same. It prints out all the active containers.

I usually look at the active containers on the panel on the left and attach vscode to them but that seems to have broken.

zchandani@gorby:~$ docker --version
Docker version 24.0.7, build afdd53b

[bwateratmsft]

The full command that we run is as follows, can you try it?

docker container ls --all --no-trunc --format "{{json .}}" --size=false

[zohimchandani]

zchandani@gorby:~$ docker container ls --all --no-trunc --format "{{json .}}" --size=false
"docker container ls" accepts no arguments.
See 'docker container ls --help'.

Usage:  docker container ls [OPTIONS]

List containers

@danegsta any ideas? Maybe an old Docker version?

[zohimchandani]

I updated vscode to version 1.92.0 which I believe is the latest.

The error I am getting now is:

Error running command vscode-docker.containers.refresh: command 'vscode-docker.containers.refresh' not found. This is likely caused by the extension that contributes vscode-docker.containers.refresh.

[zohimchandani]

I have access to 2 machines which I ssh into. Both have the same version of docker:

zchandani@gorby:~$ docker --version
Docker version 24.0.7, build afdd53b

One works fine but the other one does not. How can we figure out what the difference between the 2 is?

Moreover, can you tell me if a command line command exists to attach vscode to a running container please?

Thanks.

For this new error I have a couple questions:

Error running command vscode-docker.containers.refresh: command 'vscode-docker.containers.refresh' not found. This is likely caused by the extension that contributes vscode-docker.containers.refresh.

1. What version of the Docker extension do you have installed?
2. If you go to the Output window and open the Extension Host log, do you see anything suspicious? Errors, warnings, etc. about activating the Docker extension?

I have the same problem,latest version vscode
I installed v1.28.0,v 1.29.1 Docker extension. Both didn't work
and the Extension log didn't show info. about Docker

[zohimchandani]

For me, apt dist-upgrade seems to have fixed it.

Glad to hear it! I'll close this for now then.
