It's not tied to vs code, you can install a standalone CLI if you need to exactly replicate the container somewhere else (wherever node and docker can be installed): https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers/devcontainer-cli https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers/devcontaine... But... I don't think you have a good understanding of the feature if you're making that comment. Most people that use dev containers just have a dockerfile or docker compose file in their project and point the dev container config at it directly. Anything can use that dockerfile, it's not special in any way.
