As far as I know, only alpine

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the Dev Containers extension - this might resolve the download issues you’re seeing, as it will make sure the right version for Cursor is downloaded (vs an incompatible version from a VSCode import).

If that doesn’t work, Alpine containers might not be fully supported in Cursor right now. You could try using a different base image like Ubuntu or Debian instead

Same issue here, uninstalling & reinstalling Dev Containers extension did not work for me. Changing base image to slim did the trick for me.

I can confirm that the problem refers to Alpine containers. After I changed the base image to slim, everything worked fine. Extension reinstalling didn’t work out for me either.

I don’t think it’s too difficult to fix this, alpine container is very common

Change “alpine” to “slim” is not a solution. Its work, is a “Workaround”, “quick and dirty”, “bad-aid solution”… but is not a solution :frowning:
