Docker is server by itself, for good and bad. It is always possible to attach to the container using Docker remote API in a very secure manner. In the proposed Babylon tower 3 flows are redundant: ssh client on the client-side, ssh server on the server-side, docker CLI at the server-side. Unlike direct API connection that allows monitoring Docker engine status using _PING and Docker container using health-check it will be very hard to synchronize lifecycle of the remote SSH server, remote Docker engine, and remote docker container with the VSCode running on the client-sideThe frequency of "Can't connect" and "Can't find" will be very high.

@jakeum are you trying Attach Shell... command, or Attach Visual Studio Code... command?

If this is the latter, please refer to this issue
