I had setup a .devcontainer.json file to develop inside containers following this guide https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers/containers#_create-a-devcontainerjson-file.
Here is the json file:
{
"name": "myname Dev Container",
"image": "myname/detectron2-pytorch:1.13.1-cuda11.6.2-cudnn8-devel",
"runArgs": ["--gpus 0", "--cpuset-cpus 0-7", "--group-add phd", "--runtime=nvidia", "--shm-size=8G"],
"workspaceMount": "source=${localWorkspaceFolder},target=/workspace,type=bind,consistency=cached", "workspaceFolder": "/workspace"
}
However, when I launch the vscode command "Dev Containers: Reopen in container" I get an error with the following log:
[2023-01-13T17:19:48.886Z] Dev Containers 0.266.1 in VS Code 1.74.3

The "docker run" command fails and it also says "unknown flag: --gpus 0". But if I remove the "--gpus" option then it says "unknown flag: --cpuset-cpus 0-7". I do not understand why since if I run the same "docker run" command directly from the terminal it works perfectly fine.
I had the same problem. I fixed it by using instead of
"runArgs": ["--gpus all"] the command "runArgs": ["--gpus", "all"]. The flag and the argument needs to be an own string.
