VSC not opening as a container

I have never developed on Windows before, so I am getting somewhat lost here.
I do not know what I am doing but simply following guides.


After all the setup…
I open a terminal in Windows , and did this:
C:\Users\daz>wsl -l -v
  NAME                   STATE           VERSION
* Debian                 Running         2
  docker-desktop-data    Running         2
  docker-desktop         Running         2

C:\Users\daz>

If I open my wsl2 Debian app and in the terminal opened I did this:

daz@LianLiPC-7NB:~$ docker --version
Docker version 19.03.8, build afacb8b7f0
daz@LianLiPC-7NB:~$

Then back to the terminal opened in windows , I did this:
Then I moved into the git cloned repo for HA which I have forked as home-assistant-dev to my local filesystem on wsl Debian.

cd home-assistant-dev
code .

Then VSC window opens. It looks like this:

Then I install Remote - Containers extension

Now when I do CTRL-SHIFT-P and type Remote - Containers to open a folder in a container, the only options are:

  • Remote - Containers: Settings
  • Remote - Containers: Open Log File
  • Remote - Containers: Report Issue
  • Remote - Containers: Help

Remote - Containers: Open Folder in Container is not listed

So it isnt opening the HA dev as a container
Never used VSC before so I’m quite lost.
