How to get Docker ClI working in Code Server?

[treverehrfurth]

I have not been able to "install" or get docker cli working from within code server.
I primarily use vs code for docker development and am stuck unable to get even a "docker ps" working. I just get errors saying
"Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?"

What's the best way to get docker cli into code server?

Are you running code-server in a Docker container and want it to access the host Docker instance? I think you can make this work if you mount /var/run/docker.sock. Such as docker run -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock codercom/code-server.

I am running it in a Docker container and I did get that to work previosuly, however I was hoping to install a standalone docker instance within the container (but I'm guessing that's not possible). So I created a standalone VM in Proxmox for just Code Server and passing through just like you listed.
