title: VSCode: Cannot connect to Docker container using Remote Development extension
body: <p>I'm trying to set up VSCode so I can work on a project which resides inside a docker container. There's a recently published extension <a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/python/remote-python-development-in-visual-studio-code/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Remote Development</a> which seems to enable just that.</p>
  
  <p>I followed detailed <a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/containers" rel="nofollow noreferrer">official instructions</a> on creating <code>.devcontainer/devcontainer.json</code> and setting up remote by running <code>Remote-Containers: Reopen Folder in Container</code>, however, even with official/provided containers and settings I get the error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Setting up container for folder: /home/ilijas/&lt;path_to&gt;/workspace
  Error: (HTTP code 500) server error - linux spec user: unable to find user ilijas: no matching entries in passwd file

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In my first attempts I tried to mount a local workspace to remote one, however, since I couldn't resolve this user-not-found error, I removed all of the arguments inside docker settings which regarded user, just to make one dummy container work. I had no success. I know this is a fresh extension, but still, I hope someone can help.</p>
