Hi,
I installed microOS tumbleweed. I create one distrobox container for my development environment. I installed python3.12. I want to access from the host I want to set the interpreter from distrobox container. I go to that venv but pycharm and vs code not picking up the python3.12 interpreter. Can some one help me. When I see the file in host machine it says python3.12 Link(broken), please see the screenshot.

Did you setup vscode to be able to see and use your distroboxes?

No I did not. If I use docker then it is easy to install docker extension and develop inside the docker through vscode. This is distrobox different technology but under the hood same concept. I am following your tutorial and let’s see what happened. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks

Did you use distrobox create to create a container?

HI,
That was my command to create the container.

distrobox create --root   --image registry.opensuse.org/opensuse/distrobox:latest   --additional-packages "systemd docker"   --init   --unshare-all

Thanks

I can’t recall if it being a --root distrobox causes issues or not. You might want to pop into #distrobox:matrix.org on matrix, or ask on their github.

Hi,
I think I got it. My issue was i created the container under root account. I created now under user and able to access in vs code. Thanks for your help. Another tip I need to install dev container extension manually rather than from extension manager.

Thanks
