The error I got state that Docker is not running

[91 ms] Dev Containers 0.292.0 in VS Code 1.78.2 (b3e4e68a0bc097f0ae7907b217c1119af9e03435).

You can simply run “docker ps” on your terminal to check if docker is running or not.

Hi,
Yes, that is correct.

Do you still receive the error?

Yes I do unforotunately
