Hey, thanks for the report. Alpine Linux does have a few specific requirements when using Remote Containers in Cursor.
I’ll need a bit more info to debug this:
- Cursor version: Cursor Settings → About → Copy
- 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 - Architecture: x64 or ARM64?
- devcontainer.json: can you share your config?
Context: Alpine support was added in May 2025, but there are some requirements:
- Inside the Alpine image, you need these installed:
bash,libstdc++,wget - On ARM64 Alpine, there have been issues with the Cursor Agent because of musl vs glibc: Cursor Agent: node: fcntl64: symbol not foundA
For now, please send the logs. That’ll help confirm whether this is a server download issue or something else.
