So I actually recently dealt with this, sharing this as hopefully it helps you. https://github.com/ospira/docker-django-react-example In essence, you need two instances of VSCode running connected to two separate Docker container instances. As I understand it, it's one remote container per VSCode window. Thus, I found this to be best, even though it isn't strictly speaking necessary, but it ends up feeling that way because as you said the language server integration (intellisense and extensions) will not work properly if not connected to the right container. If you load this up in vs code it should prompt you properly given the presence of the files in `.devcontainter` dir. Having two windows in VSCode is kind of annoying at first, but I found it was actually fine, especially on macOS where tabbing to the other VSCode window (as opposed to ungrouped alt+tab on windows) was painless, and also kept me more organized not having backend and frontend code right next to each other. |

1. I fixed some things in that repo, now it should work out of the box. Apologies if the initial version had some bugs, was taking it out of another project, and the first effort at cleaning it up was too hasty. Note it is still however just meant as an example.
2. You actually can run more than one container per window - see here https://code.visualstudio.com/remote/advancedcontainers/conn.... However, I opted for the double window method because I found that cleaner than toggling between in one window. In my template I assume the two windows method because it will load up the proper subfolder (django or react) of the workspace/monorepo depending on which dev container you connect to.
