docker-from-docker: vscode soft-reloading on running any `docker` command

[danjamesmay]

I'm running a devcontainer with a custom debian bullseye-based image. I'm installing only the docker cli inside the container using COPY --from=hub.docker.com/docker:dind /usr/local/bin/docker /usr/local/bin/. I'm mounting the docker socket and authentication keys in the ~/.docker folder.

docker commands inside the devcontainer are working fine, it's interacting with the remote host docker daemon and doing whatever I tell it, however everytime I run a docker command vscode soft reloads the entire UI, as in the whole window refreshes. The terminal appears to continue in the background and nothing really breaks, it's just a very janky user experience if I have to wait 5-10s every time I run a docker command to wait for the UI to reload.

Is there any way of preventing the reload?

Thanks

Have you tried using the official docker-outside-of-docker feature?
