Yeah, I also tried ~months ago. To be fair, I'v only tested out dev containers with docker, so I'm too weak to debug things what went wrong.

Any article out there on how to have windows + wsl2 + podman + vscode devcontainers working?

I suggest you start by just getting plain podman running the docker.io/hello-world container to reduce the complexity and simplify debugging if anything goes wrong. It's been about a decade since I last touched windows but if wsl2 is 1:1 with Linux the official podman guide should be straight forward.

It's always easier to start with the bare minimum and build from there, and you will get a better understanding of the tools you're using.

I don't know what `vscode devcontainers` is but to run podman on wsl2 I simply installed a fedora wsl2 image (by importing the fedora container image if my memory is correct).
