The source for “[mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/python:3.12](http://mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/python:3.12)” is [images/src/python at main · devcontainers/images · GitHub](https://github.com/devcontainers/images/tree/main/src/python) I see `dev-3.12` in [https://mcr.microsoft.com/v2/devcontainers/python/tags/list](https://mcr.microsoft.com/v2/devcontainers/python/tags/list) . I am not sure what makes a git repository appropriate for use as a devcontainer image other than the presence of a .devcontainer.json file. I am not sure if the “[registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora-toolbox:40](http://registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora-toolbox:40)” is suitable as a devcontainer or if it is just unsuitable for devpod. Here are some possibilities: - [devcontainer lifecycle](https://containers.dev/implementors/spec/#lifecycle) - [devcontainer features](https://containers.dev/features) - [devcontainer user](https://github.com/devcontainers/features/tree/main/src/common-utils) - [devcontainer sshd](https://github.com/devcontainers/features/tree/main/src/sshd) - Package manager : depends on the base OS, or dev environment (python, go, etc.) --- _[View the full topic](https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/community-guide-setting-up-devpod-with-podman/320)._
