I think we are not currently including docker in docker support for the devcontainer.json setup are we? Trying to run run with 
-profile docker
or trying to execute an nf-test with 
--profile=+docker
results in the following in codespaces for me:
Copy code
Command error:
  docker: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?.
  See 'docker run --help'.
This can be easily fixed by including the following snippets in the devcontainer.json file:
Copy code
"features": {
        "<http://ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/docker-outside-of-docker:1|ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/docker-outside-of-docker:1>": {
            "version": "latest"
        }
    },
If we truly don't have this included at the moment, I suggest adding it with a future template update, as docker usage in codespaces is an important part of developing and testing pipelines!

This is what I patched the nf-core/demo devcontainer.json to so docker profiles work:
Copy code
{
    "name": "nfcore",
    "image": "nfcore/gitpod:latest",
    "remoteUser": "gitpod",
    "runArgs": ["--privileged"],

    "features": {
        "<http://ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/docker-outside-of-docker:1|ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/docker-outside-of-docker:1>": {
            "version": "latest"
        }
    },

    // Configure tool-specific properties.
    "customizations": {
        // Configure properties specific to VS Code.
        "vscode": {
            // Set *default* container specific settings.json values on container create.
            "settings": {
                "python.defaultInterpreterPath": "/opt/conda/bin/python"
            },

            // Add the IDs of extensions you want installed when the container is created.
            "extensions": ["ms-python.python", "ms-python.vscode-pylance", "nf-core.nf-core-extensionpack"]
        }
    }
}

Ahh nice, didn't know there was already a PR for that! Thanks @mashehu!
