Is there a way to run/create/launch a container from an image in VS Code (e.g., one I downloaded from Docker Hub), or do I need to do it from outside VS Code (e.g., docker run from the command-line, or the Docker app, ...)?

I have the Docker and Docker Explorer extensions installed, but I don't see any docker run functionality in them (e.g., in the Command Palette, the sidebar, or right-clicking on an image).

    Playing with the VSCode Docker extension, there's a very limited ability to launch a container – if you already have the image locally, you can right-click, "Run" it – but there are almost no options available for persistent storage, port mapping, or any other configuration. Right-clicking on a docker-compose.yml file gives a couple more options. Commented Nov 17, 2023 at 1:06
  • Thanks @DavidMaze. Hmm, I don't even see the "right-click > "Run" it. Commented Nov 17, 2023 at 1:16
