Remote Containers do not work with Alpine Docker images

Hey, thanks for the report. Alpine Linux does have a few specific requirements when using Remote Containers in Cursor.

  1. Cursor version: Cursor Settings → About → Copy
  2. Error logs: Open the Output panel CMD/CTRL + Shift + U → pick Dev Containers in the dropdown → copy the errors you see when you try to open the devcontainer
  3. Architecture: x64 or ARM64?
  4. devcontainer.json: can you share your config?

For now, please send the logs. That’ll help confirm whether this is a server download issue or something else.
