Dev Container - No ARM64 Support

[larson-carter]

I totally could be doing something wrong here myself.

However, when I try to launch inside of the dev container (using the latest version of docker, engine, code, etc across the board). I am greeted with an amazing error acting as if mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/universal:2-linux does not support ARM? This is on a m3 MacBook Pro.

Log Output:

I have encountered the same error on my machine, macbookPro(M4).

It looks like this Docker image doesn't support arm64.

I've reached out to some friends internally who might be able to help with this. This isn't specific to this repo, but in the meantime you can spin up a Codespace for free where this should work okay.

[DanielRosenwasser]

From that contact:

Hey everyone, the “universal” image is a custom image for Codespaces and currently only built for amd64 (there are no ARM Codespaces). I think parts of it (like Conda) are indeed not available for ARM.

Looks like we'll need something a bit more custom.
