Remote Linux Docker from Windows DevPod : mount path must be absolute.

[mikecarr]

What happened?
Launching a devcontainer from Windows UI to remote Desktop server returns error: info docker: Error response from daemon: invalid mount config for type "bind": invalid mount path: 'C:/Users/MCarr1/.devpod/agent/contexts/default/workspaces/vscode-remote-try-go/content' mount path must be absolute.
(see attached debug log)
devpod-windows-absolute-path.log

What did you expect to happen instead?
I expected the workspace to be deployed to the remote Docker host

How can we reproduce the bug? (as minimally and precisely as possible)

• Setup Docker Provider with remote host (or port that is port forwarded to Docker host) i.e. localhost:2375
• port forward localhost 2375 to remote Docker host
  ssh -L2375:localhost:2375 remote-dockerhost.com
• Create any workspace with Docker provider

Local Environment:

• DevPod Version: 0.4.2
• Operating System: Windows
• ARCH of the OS: AMD64

DevPod Provider:

• Local/remote provider: docker | ssh

Anything else we need to know?
The host that Devpod is running is Windows, the host where Docker is running is linux

Attaching command line from Linux debug log which results in same error

devpod-linux-absolute-path.log

The SSH provider does what I want

Hi @mikecarr this probably could be linked to the #808 issue, probably same path conversion problem

I know this is an old issue, but I'm seeing it from Windows 11 to Ubuntu 24.10. Was there a resolution to this or suggestion on how this is resolved ?
