v1.12.0

Added

• The extension now targets Docker Compose commands to files matching the dockercompose language ID. This raises the minimum required VS Code version to 1.55.0. #2761
• .NET apps will now scaffold using a non-root user. #1835
• Deployments from Azure Container Registry to Azure App Service now no longer require the admin credentials enabled on the ACR. This will now use a system-assigned Managed Service Identity. #1685
• The "Docker Containers: Compose Logs" command can now be used from the palette, as long as the grouping in the containers panel is set to the default of "Compose Project Name". #2770
• The contexts panel now has a "Use" button directly in the tree item, saving a click. #2719

Fixed

• ACI contexts should now work in sovereign clouds. #2775
• Better information on both Python and .NET Dockerfiles about running as a non-root user. #2724
• Generic registry auth will now try both POST and GET to obtain a token. #2735
• Commands launched on compose groups from the containers panel now use the compose project name. #2755
• Containers will now more reliably be removed after debugging when using the Restart option. #2676

v1.11.0

Added

• Scaffolding and debugging for Python FastAPI is now added. Thanks @Kludex! #2615

Fixed

• The use of keytar has been removed since VS Code now has a secret storage API. Users will need to log in to their registries again. #2699
• In the files explorer, folders containing spaces should work. #2739
• Adding Dockerfiles to a (ASP).NET app will now automatically generate the required .NET build task, using the C# extension. #2669
• Python docker-run tasks should now respect the dockerRun command option in tasks.json. #2725
• Microsoft Container Registry (MCR) images were sometimes incorrectly being flagged as out-of-date. #2730

v1.10.0

Added

• Added tooltips to the various explorer views, which will show a great deal of helpful information. For example, the containers tooltips show connected volumes, networks, ports, and more. #1002, #2538, #2592
• Editing files in a running Linux container is now possible. #2465
• COPY and ADD statements in Dockerfiles now support the --chmod option. #2624
• In docker-build and docker-run tasks, the docker.host setting is now honored. #2590
• The preferred file name for Docker Compose files is now "compose.yaml". Scaffolding will still use "docker-compose.yml" for now, but "compose.yaml" files will be recognized as Compose files, allowing for right click -> Compose Up, etc. #2618
• Codicons are now used for almost all icons. #2654

Fixed

• The previously available feature for checking if images are out of date has been re-enabled by default. The behavior now uses HEAD requests which are not subject to Docker Hub's rate limiting. This feature can be disabled with the setting docker.images.checkForOutdatedImages. #2691
• GitLab registry connection now supports--and requires--using personal access tokens. Users previously connecting with username and password will need to reconnect with a personal access token. Refer to the GitLab documentation on creating personal access tokens for information on how to do so. #1968, #2688
• Debugging Python apps in WSL should now work correctly. #2641
• On OS X Big Sur, docker was frequently missing from the PATH environment variable for unknown reasons. This issue should now be mitigated. #2578

Experiments (may not be visible to all users)

• In context menus for Docker Compose files, a new option has been added to allow choosing a subset of the services in the Compose file to start--"Compose Up - Choose Services". This is equivalent to running the Compose Up command with the ${serviceList} magic property in place. #2646

v1.9.1

Fixed

• Debugging .NET and Python is now possible in GitHub Codespaces! #2389, #2565
• Prompt to open a folder or workspace when executing commands that require one--instead of Report Issue button. #2512
• Fixed "object null is not iterable" error when scaffolding Dockerfiles for .NET apps. #2572
• Fixed some issues with understanding the state of containers in Azure Container Instances. #2602

v1.9.0

Added

• View logs of Compose projects (cumulative logs of all containers belonging to a Compose run). #2506
• Show the Docker daemon host information in diagnostic output. #2493
• Support launching a subset of services from Compose file. #2445
• Allow users to download container files. #2466

Fixed

• Directories in Windows containers cannot be browsed. #2479
• "Stop" action should only be shown for running containers. #2497
• Allow port selection when scaffolding Compose files for Node.js app. #2495
• Properly show image ID for container when requested. #2507

v1.8.1

Fixed

• This update fixes an issue that prevented debugging Python applications in Docker containers. The latest version of the Python extension is also required. #2455
• Fixed an issue where the logo was hard to see in the extension gallery page in the browser. #2499

v1.8.0

Added

• Added a read-only file explorer for running containers, this can be seen in the Docker Explorer tab. #2333
• In ACI contexts, volumes are now visible. #2315
• A start page will now open on install / upgrade with some pointers on where to begin. The automatic opening can be disabled with a checkbox on the page. #1895
• New extension icon! #2475

Fixed

• Activation performance has been improved. #2371
• .NET Core image names below 5.0 can now be pulled without /core. The scaffolding code has been updated to reflect this. #2429
• Output looked bad for BuildKit builds. #2451

Removed

• UI mode has been removed for the purposes of remoting, but it can be manually re-enabled. This change significantly improves the user experience when using remote features. #2356

v1.7.0

Added

• The containers view is now grouped by compose project by default. This can be changed by settings. #2324
• On compose project grouping nodes, the commands "Compose Down" and "Compose Restart" can be used from context menu. #2304
• A docker.context setting is added, similar to docker.host, used for controlling the DOCKER_CONTEXT environment variable. #2264
• The checking for outdated images now applies to images from Microsoft Container Registry (MCR), including .NET and ASP.NET images. #2165
• The docker-build and docker-run tasks now have a customOptions flag, which can be used to add any arbitrary command line parameters to the docker build and docker run commands, respectively. #2259, #2271

Fixed

• The outdated image checking feature now will run at most once per day in order to conserve rate limits. The feature remains disabled by default but can be enabled in settings, with docker.images.checkForOutdatedImages. #2272
• Fixed an issue with Django project debugging not working on Linux. #2313
• Support for environment variables (like ${env:HOME}) in launch configurations has been added. In general, any variables VS Code supports should work. #1961
• Node.js applications in subfolders should now be scaffolded correctly for building and debugging in Docker. #2057

Removed

• The deprecated docker-coreclr debug configuration has been removed. It is replaced by the docker debug configuration. #2197

v1.6.0

Added

• Deployments to Azure Container Instances can be made directly from images in Docker Hub and Azure Container Registries in the Registries view. #1718
• ACI containers can now be stopped and started from the Explorer view. #2265
• Templates for scaffolding can be provided with the new docker.scaffolding.templatePath setting. #1617
• The scaffolding experience is now a wizard, which has improved UX. #1642

Changed

• The outdated image check feature has been turned off by default. It can still be turned on in settings but may result in rate limiting from Docker Hub. For more information see #2272.

Removed

• The command vscode-docker.api.configure has been removed. The command vscode-docker.configure can still be used to programmatically scaffold Dockerfiles. #2267

v1.5.0

Added

• The applicable Docker context types can be set on customized commands. #2168
• Image size has been added in the Explorer view as an optional property for labels and sorting. #2047

Fixed

• Terminal windows will be reused, instead of opening a new terminal window every time. #251
• The recommended exec form of CMD directives is now used wherever possible. #2090
• Debugging no longer stops on hot reload in Python. #2148
• Grouping containers by networks used is not working #2185
• Activation errors due to filesystem permissions #2204
• Prompt to copy debugger into container shows up repeatedly #2186
• Allow logging to container registries without gnome-keyring installed #722

Removed

• The docker.attachShellCommand.Windows and docker.attachShellCommand.Linux settings have been removed. Command customization replaces this functionality.
