Current Behavior

It appears that coder, when creating a devcontainer workspace, does not invoke devcontainer entrypoints.

In my example I was using the docker-in-docker feature. Here's a relevant .devcontainer/devcontainer.json:

// For format details, see https://aka.ms/devcontainer.json. For config options, see the
// README at: https://github.com/devcontainers/templates/tree/main/src/alpine
{
	"name": "GitLab Runner Infrastructure",
	// Or use a Dockerfile or Docker Compose file. More info: https://containers.dev/guide/dockerfile
	"image": "mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/base:ubuntu",
	// "dockerComposeFile": "docker-compose.yml",
	// "service": "workspace",
	"features": {
		"ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/terraform:1": {},
		"ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/docker-in-docker:2": {},
		"ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/common-utils:2": {},
                "ghcr.io/skriptfabrik/devcontainer-features/gitlab-cli:1": {}
	}
	// "workspaceFolder": "/workspace/workspace"

	// Features to add to the dev container. More info: https://containers.dev/features.
	// "features": {},

	// Use 'forwardPorts' to make a list of ports inside the container available locally.
	// "forwardPorts": [],

	// Use 'postCreateCommand' to run commands after the container is created.
	// "postCreateCommand": ".devcontainer/postinstall.sh"

	// Configure tool-specific properties.
	// "customizations": {},

	// Uncomment to connect as root instead. More info: https://aka.ms/dev-containers-non-root.
	// "remoteUser": "root"
}

In order to use docker while in the workspace via the feature I have to execute dockerd & 2&1 > /dev/null, typically the devcontainer feature endpoint handles this.

See: https://github.com/devcontainers/features/blob/main/src/docker-in-docker/devcontainer-feature.json#L65
