Executive Summary Request for native devcontainer support in Antigravity to enable seamless development in containerized environments. Devcontainers are essential infrastructure for professional software development, and their integration would significantly enhance Antigravity’s capabilities for mo…

I tried now a few times to use Antigravity and it never worked. Devcontainers are working in Antigravity but the browser tool can not setup the chrome extension and also not use it if it was setup in a Antigravity session that was not within a devcontainer. It is so dissapointing that google releas…

I’ve had a similar experience, but if I want to rebuild the devcontainer, I have to do it from VS Code. Sometimes it has trouble starting the devcontainer and just keeps loading. In those cases, if I close and reopen Antigravity and then reopen it in the devcontainer, it works. Everything works more…

I am in dire need of this feature. I implore you to ensure that the GPG key for signing commits is not overlooked. Cursor has fallen short in this regard. It is exceedingly frustrating to be compelled to commit from the host machine due to the dev container’s inability to do so. Thank you in advanc…

I agree with most of the people in this forum. Without complete support for devcontainers this is a toy and not useful to coders that need the flexibility of multiple environments. My customers use everything from php 7 to php 8 and ever other product under the sun (it seems at times) … devcontaine…

I also need this feature so much. Cursor, for instance, does not support devcontainers (they have something similar, but I didn’t manage to make it work) so I had to go back to VS Code. I’ve heard Antigravity is the next big thing, but it becomes unusable for us at this point. These are our everyda…

Hello, I hope it helps, I managed to get devcontainers working. There were 3 problems: If you are already inside WSL, the Attach to Running Container option is not displayed when doing Ctrl+Shift+P It looks like the line “when”: “!remoteName” from C:\Users\AppData\Local\Programs\Antigravity\reso…

Really need proper devcontainer support - need to be able to connect to a remote server via SSH and then open a container on the remote server. This workflow works in Cursor and VS Code, but not Antigravity

Any progress? I also want to use the container in the remote server

I was excited to try Antigravity today but immediately ran into issues trying to get my devcontainer working. I don’t see the extension in the open vsx marketplace either. Devcontainers are wonderful when paired with AI, I think this is a very high ROI feature for your team to prioritize.

Is there a way currently to set the remoteUser to the DevContainers?. Whatever I do, it always sets it to root.

Something similar to VSCode : code.visualstudio remote/advancedcontainers/add-nonroot-user
