I use docker compose with different services, and I’m trying to attach to a running container, and it fails to do so with this error code:

[1128 ms] Failed to download VS Code Server ([https://update.code.visualstudio.com/commit:c0db898419c36107211de244bdcf5f412c1a4920/server-alpine-arm64/stable](https://update.code.visualstudio.com/commit:c0db898419c36107211de244bdcf5f412c1a4920/server-alpine-arm64/stable)): HTTP 404 - Not Found

This prevents me and many others from using this service until it’s fixed, since many depend on attaching to remote interpreters ( like docker containers )
