Does supabase work in a devcontainer with docker-outside-of-docker?

[PanCakeConnaisseur]

I have been trying to get Supabase to run in a devcontainer with the feature ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/docker-outside-of-docker:1.

The project consists of multiple containers which are started by a docker-compose.yml (specified in the devcontainer.json) and in the Dockerfile of the development container I install supabase

RUN cd /tmp \
    && wget --progress=bar:force:noscroll https://github.com/supabase/cli/releases/download/v1.208.0/supabase_1.208.0_linux_amd64.deb \
    && dpkg -i  /tmp/supabase_1.208.0_linux_amd64.deb

When vscode has started and attached to the development container I use the supabase command to start all the containers but this fails without any helpful hint AFAICS.

$ supabase start --debug
Supabase CLI 1.208.0

I don't undestand what is happening, but assume that supabase failed to start its own PostgreSQL container and therefore fails to connect to it. Any ideas on how to debug and solve this?

Note that AFAIU I need to use docker-outside-of-docker and can not use docker-inside-docker because the latter would start the supabase containers inside the development container and be isolated from the containers from the docker-compose.yml.

I am using Kubuntu 24.04 LTS on the host.

Same challenge, same debug trace - did you get anywhere or anyone come back ?
