Devcontainers without VSCode
I think it would be best for you to search for other solutions - There's kool.dev, maybe it'll help? For us it was way too opinionated and web-dev-centric, so we had to settle for a bash script for now - But it works, and let's us perform what actually matters 🙂

The Kool Way to Run Hugo Static Sites on Docker
In just 2 simple steps, you can use Kool to start a new Hugo application running in a local Docker development environment.
- Open source CLI that reduces the complexity and learning curve of Docker and Docker Compose for local environments offering a simplified interface for using Kubernetes to deploy staging and production environments to the cloud.

Use Kool to Dockerize Your Local Development Environment the Right Way
Kool (kool-dev/kool) offers a better way to use Docker locally. Kool provides a suite of open source tools that deliver a better developer experience (DX) and help you avoid the pitfalls described earlier by making sure you follow best practices and use Docker in a standardized way across your projects and teams. From local development environments running on Docker to staging and production environments running in the cloud on Kubernetes, Kool makes it easier to containerize your web apps.

Launching dev containers from code - is impossible?
Well, I got the hint from this GitHub issue. Also, it seems like at one time a devcontainer open command existed in the old dev container CLI (it does not exist anymore since the CLI wants to be editor-agnostic).

Dev Containers: Open, Develop, Repeat...
So you can use Dev Containers from the vscode user interface rather intuitively. All configurations can also be edited directly and there is even a CLI. However, this CLI is made editor agnostic, so there is no vscode integration.

Devcontainer CLI in Neovim
During the last past few days I've been working on a new neovim plugin: nvim-devcontainer-cli which gives you the possibility to build, run and connect to your Docker devcontainer using devcontainer-cli, which is the CLI used by the VS Code Devcontainer plugin.

DevContainers - Vscode Alternative
While doing a bit more research: https://github.com/devcontainers/cli and https://devcontainers.github.io/

Devcontainers without VSCode
If you want to support both use-cases (vim/Neovim & vscode), then vscode/MS broke out devcontainers feature from vscode into a separate project to support non-vscode users. Check out https://github.com/devcontainers/cli and https://devcontainers.github.io/

Are there better options for standardizing development environments than VS Code dev containers?
It's hard to ensure that a prebuilt image provides valid cache for the dev container (I actually submitted a PR to help with this, but I'm still seeing problems and haven't figured out why yet). When we have a cache miss, the build takes 10 minutes.

Creating a dev 'container' to make it easier on first timers
to add this this they recently defined "devcontainers" as a spec to help integrate it with other editors and also turn it into a CLI tool that is being heavily worked on https://containers.dev/ https://github.com/devcontainers/cli

Developing inside a Container using Visual Studio Code Remote Development.
the team have actually started developing devcontainers an an open specification for other IDEs to start integrating with along with a CLI tool they are developing to cutout the need for VS code all together. https://github.com/devcontainers/cli

Ask HN: Any Good Make Alternatives?
Haven't tested it myself, but there's now a cli to decouple devcontainers from VSCode:
https://github.com/devcontainers/cli
What are some alternatives?
