68 | | - |
69 | | -- Changes to the `devcontainer.json` file require manual container recreation |
70 | | -- Automatic port forwarding only works for ports specified in `appPort` |
71 | | -- SSH access requires using the `--container` flag |
72 | | -- Some devcontainer features may not work as expected |
