Docker – VSCode issue running old container

I am trying to run a dev container with an old version of node (8.x). When trying to launch I get this error:

Start: Run in container: /root/.vscode-server/bin/660393deaaa6d1996740ff4880f1bad43768c814/bin/code-server --log debug --force-disable-user-env --server-data-dir /root/.vscode-server --telemetry-level off --accept-server-license-terms --host 127.0.0.1 --port 0 --connection-token-file /root/.vscode-server/data/Machine/.connection-token-660393deaaa6d1996740ff4880f1bad43768c814 --extensions-download-dir /root/.vscode-server/extensionsCache --start-server

I think this has to do with VSCode trying to SSH and expecting more modern libs?

So how do I run an old container? The entire point of my attempt is to load an old project that I cannot run locally due to modern Python and other things. So I am attempting to recreate an older env including all the libs such as glibc etc.

    From your error what i can infer is that you might need to install some prerequisites for your linux distro.

    From VSCode official site:

    glibc based Linux distributions for x86_64, ARMv7l (AArch32), and ARMv8l (AArch64)
    should work if they have the needed prerequisites.

    Refer to prerequisites here.

    Then you can keep moving forward with the installation/fix as described on the link above.

    If needed refer to VS Code Server (it is on your error messages).

    Hope it helps !

    Hey it looks like you need to install Glibc for vscode to run node 8.x

    Here is a solved Github issue on how someone with a similar problem fixed it, and they added steps on how to manually install the needed dependencies.
