Troubleshooting dev containers

Early Access

Dev Container Not Starting

If your dev container fails to start:

  1. Check the agent logs for error messages:

    • /tmp/coder-agent.log
    • /tmp/coder-startup-script.log
    • /tmp/coder-script-[script_id].log
  2. Verify that Docker is running in your workspace.

  3. Ensure the devcontainer.json file is valid.

  4. Check that the repository has been cloned correctly.

  5. Verify the resource limits in your workspace are sufficient.
