Attach to container on remote host with vscode

In order to have sufficient computational power for my data science workflow, I'm using Docker containers on a remote machine. While I can connect via vscode-remote to my remote machine, I then can't attach to Docker containers running on this machine. Is there a way to do that? Or is this a feature not yet implemented?

Thanks a lot!

Yes, using VSCode remote to connect to and develop in a remote container is supported, but it is considered an 'advanced' use of the 'Remote - Containers' functionality. (The primary use cases currently include connecting to a remote VM via SSH and connecting to a local container.)

See here for instructions:
Developing inside a container on a remote Docker host

Sometimes you may want to use the Remote - Containers extension to develop inside a container that sits on remote server. This section outlines how you can achieve this by using devcontainer.json or attaching to an existing remote container...
