The Docker Extension Pack for Visual Studio Code, which makes it easy to build, manage, and deploy containerized applications from the editor. The repository is archived and development has moved to the Container Tools extension (microsoft/vscode-containers).
Use cases
- manage docker containers from vscode
- build and debug containerized applications in the editor
- write and lint dockerfiles
- manage docker-compose services in vscode
- deploy containerized apps from visual studio code
When to choose
- you are on a legacy setup that still requires the original Docker extension
- you need the historical extension for reference or compatibility
When to avoid
- you are starting a new project - use the Container Tools extension instead
- you need Podman support or ongoing updates
- you want actively maintained tooling
