Body

I'm currently using GitHub Codespace as my cloud IDE for programming but I'm having issue on how to run docker commands within it.

For instance, I use my Dockerfile, devcontainer.json and a install.sh script to spin up my GitHub Codespace (a Docker instance) for programming. Now my work involved running Docker commands like creating an image within my Codespace which is a docker instance.

Please how can I do such action in codespace?

I found out that there's a feature for docker-in-docker to include to my devcontainer.json file to make it works

Sample below

{
    "name": "Docker in Docker",
    "image": "mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/base:ubuntu",
    "features": {
        "ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/docker-in-docker:2": {}
    }
}

With this I can run docker commands in my codespace
