maybe you can try to use the engine to do the same thing?
Possibly this series of commands
docker ps -a
in mine this gives
hbar1st@HanaaP:~/rdb-alpha$ docker ps -a

Thank you again for your help, but it is still not working. I deleted the container. And then I started it new. I have now a new container ID, but everything else is still the same…
i came up with something that may or may not work for you. If you want to try it is this:
After exiting vs code:
1- copied rdb-alpha to a new directory like rdb-alpha1 from the command line, (eg. cp -r rdb-alpha rdb-alpha1)
2- then cd to this new rdb-alpha1 dir and pruned all unused docker images: docker image prune -a . Make sure the rdb image is gone by running docker images. If still there, remove it with docker rmi <image-id>. If that doesn’t work because there is a container using it, then run docker ps -a to see any containers that relate to the rdb-alpha, then run docker rm <container-id> and try again to clear the image from before.
Finally run docker volume prune to clear unused volumes.
The goal is to make sure that docker images shows no images related to rdb-alpha
3- then run code . from the new renamed path
4- then went to the Command Palette and ran Dev Containers Rebuild and Reopen
5- then started coderoad
6- then clicked start and entered a new url etc
7- then when presented with the first step, i opened a new bash terminal
From there things continue to work.
Edit: if you want to save your work to a repo. (Note the instructions assume you have a github account and have setup ssh) Rm the .git file in the duplicate directory you made. Then run git init. After that run git add . to stage all your changes then git commit -m “my first commit” then go to GitHub and create a new repo and give it the same name as your new directory (rdb-alpha1) and after creating, you will be shown two sets of instructions. The first set is to be ignored. Instead follow the second set for people who have a local repo. The second set of instructions has three commands to run in sequence.
please note I modified the instructions since first posting and tested them and they seem to work well so far (i ran through a whole course and i got the checkmark in fCC too)
