With the May, 2nd 2019 announcement of "Remote Development with VS Code", you actually can use The Remote - Containers extension :
The Remote - Containers extension lets you use a Docker container as a full-featured development environment.
Containers make a great development environment because you can:
- Develop with a consistent and easily reproducible toolchain and on the same operating system you are deploying to.
- Quickly swap between different, isolated development environments and safely make updates without worrying about impacting your local machine.
- Make it easy for new team members / contributors to get up and running in a consistent development environment.
Docker extension for VS Code (ms-azuretools.vscode-docker) allows you to right-click on any running container in the list, then choose 'Attach Visual Studio Code' - and you will be able to open any folder inside Docker container in a new VS Code window. I presume you must have The Remote - Containers extensions installed as well.
Start the container by mapping the host path with container path using -v
docker run -v ~/yourlocalpath:/dockerpath
Changes you make on this folder will be reflected inside.
