Dev Containers without the Dev Containers extension possible using code-server?

Typically with vs-code, i'd use the remote connection and dev container extensions to 'connect' to a Dev Container, however from my understanding from various posts on the internet, it appears this method isn't possible using code-server due to licensing restrictions on these extensions. If that's true, are there any workarounds? Thanks in advance for taking a look!

hey, yes it's true, the OSS versions of VSCode don't have access to it I would recommend using Microsoft's official web version of VSCode for this

you can use it by installing any VS Code edition and running the serve-local subcommand
