How can I connect VS Code to a Home Assistant docker container running on Unraid Server?
I want to edit config files in my Home Assistant install with all the VS Code editor goodness.
I'm running Home Assistant via Docker inside Unraid Server.
How can I connect VS Code to the container?
Solution
All instructions are from inside VS Code...
- Install the
Remote SSHextension. - Install the
Dockerextension. - Install the
Dev Containersextension. - Enable the Docker extension for use when connected via SSH.
Go to the VSCode Settings UI > Remote SSH: Default Extensions > Add Item
Addms-azuretools.vscode-docker
- Use the
Remote SSHextension to connect to the unraid server at <ip_address:8123>. - Go to the
Dockerextension in the sidebar and the Home Assistant container will be in the list. - Right click the container and select "Attach Visual Studio Code" and enter your password when prompted.
- Another VS Code window will launch fully logged into the container and ready to edit files.
