Visual studio code devcontainer error reading from server: EOF - docker

Question

I'm trying to do a devcontainer setup with vscode on linux (fedora 37) but I always get the error you can see in the image link below
failed to receive status: rpc error: code = Unavailable desc = error reading from server: EOF
These are my configuration files:
Dockerfile:

Thank you very much for the help
The information I found on the internet says that the problem is docker, but docker is fine.
I run my docker build and it finishes successfully, but devconteiner throws the error every time

This is most likely related to a bug in Docker stack, introduced in recent Docker 23 (check your version to make sure the below applies to you).
VSC issue: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/7958. There you can find a workaround and links to upstream trackers that deal with the issue directly.
I can confirm the workaround of disabling BUILDKIT_INLINE_CACHE works, that is setting the following in .devcontainer.json allows for VSC to start:
{
"build": {
"args": {
"BUILDKIT_INLINE_CACHE": "0"
}
}
}
The issue itself is supposed to be fixed already, but may not have landed in your distribution yet.
