I have mentioned above the vs code version and my pc stats.
Problem:
I am unable to access the docker container which is in a remote machine accessed via ssh from my local machine.
It is always showing that no running container I have installed everything in my local and remote. I have tried the same in another pc too.

Try opening a folder on the SSH server first. This is tracked as #4913.
