Steps to Reproduce:

1. The server where this issue occurs has a unique setup where multiple people share the same user account.
2. The issue happens only when initially building the dev container. However, I can open dev containers built by others under the same user account, and others can build my dev container, which I can then access.
3. Based on the logs, the problem seems to be local to my setup. Reinstalling VSCode (trying to do it cleanly) did not resolve the issue.
4. Other than my SSH key being password-protected, there's seems to be no difference regarding my setup to the others.

Does this issue occur when you try this locally?: No

The error location suggests that you are adding a devcontainer.json. Did the UI picker show up at the top of the window?

Hey, thanks for getting back. Is this the UI picker you mean (at the top)?

It seems I wasn't in the right folder in VSCode where the .devcontainer/devcontainer.json was located. I can't remember if this was the case the first time I had the problem, but it seems to be solved for now.
