- Make sure PHP debugger and devcontainer extensions are installed - Install docker on your system - In .vscode, copy `launch.json-devcontainer-dist` to `launch.json` or use its contents for an existing launch.json file - Build the devcontainer and switch the workspace to devcontainer When you run the debug server launch configuration, a PHP webserver inside the devcontainer will start and you will be able to use the vscode debugger: place breakpoints, use watches, catch exceptions, step over etc. Note that xdebug server runs on your machine and listens on its port 9003. The xdebug client is a php extension that runs _in_ the devcontainer and will connect back to your host, which is why vscode should have port 9003 listed in forwarded ports and it should be green when the web server is running.
