Custom DOCKER_EXTRA_ARGS

[blackliner]

Is there a way for users to provide custom, additional args to the docker run command?

export DOCKER_EXTRA_ARGS='--mount source=my-data-volume,target=/app/data'
# results in the following being called when launching a devcontainer
docker run <devcontainer_specific_stuff> --mount source=my-data-volume,target=/app/data <container_image> <commands>

Hi @blackliner ,
Thanks for reaching out!
Use runArgs in your devcontainer.json to add custom arguments.

Example:

{
"name": "DevContainer",
"build": {
"dockerfile": "Dockerfile",
// dockerfile build args
"args": {
}
},
"runArgs": [
"--network=host",
"--name=my_container_name"
]
}

You can find the overview of runArgs here.
