How to add path to vscode to devcontainer.json as variable

[MightyMirko]

Hello Folks,

is there any way to specify the current host machine to devcontainer.json? Since my install dirs are different, I always have to uncomment and comment whether im working on machine1 or machine2.

For reference: devcontainer.json

{
	"name": "my_TexTenant",
	"image": "mirko/docker-texlive:latest",
	"remoteUser": "root",
	"hostRequirements": {
		"storage": "32gb"
	},
	"remoteEnv": {
		"user": "mirko",
"user2":"mightymirko",
		"sumatraPath": "/mnt/c/Program Files/SumatraPDF/SumatraPDF.exe",
		//"vscodePath": "/mnt/c/Users/${user}/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft VS Code/Code.exe",
		"vscodePath_falke": "D:/opt/Microsoft VS Code/Code.exe",
		"vscodeCliPath_falke": "D:/opt/Microsoft VS Code/resources/app/out/cli.js",
		//"vscodeCliPath": "/mnt/c/Users/${user}/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft VS Code/resources/app/out/cli.js"
	},
	"features": {},
	"customizations": {
		"vscode": {
			"settings": {
				"latex-workshop.view.pdf.viewer": "external",
				"latex-workshop.view.pdf.external.synctex.command": "${sumatraPath}",
				"latex-workshop.view.pdf.external.synctex.args": [
					"-forward-search",
					"%TEX%",
					"%LINE%",
					"-reuse-instance",
					"-inverse-search",
					"\"${vscodePath_falke}\" \"${vscodeCliPath_falke}\" --ms-enable-electron-run-as-node -r -g \"%f:%l\"",
					//"\"${vscodePath}\" \"${vscodeCliPath}\" --ms-enable-electron-run-as-node -r -g \"%f:%l\"",
					"%PDF%"
				]
			},
			"extensions": [
				"James-Yu.latex-workshop",
				"JeffersonQin.latex-snippets-jeff",
				"sabertazimi.latex-snippets"

			]
		}
	}
}

Looks like you are running into a similar issue as mentioned in devcontainers/spec#335 where the user tries to open the same dev container on two different machines.

Unfortunately, we currently don't have an easy way to switch paths, but have ^ for tracking.
