OSX devcontainer mounts not working

[Jarrodsz]

Im trying to get a local folder mounted in my devcontainer, im still using vscode but would like to move to devcontainer cli instead.

I used

    "mounts": [
        "source=/Users/alex/Desktop/mycustommountfolder/user_data,target=/insidecontainer/user_data,type=bind"
    ],

To not avail tried several approaches suggesting i need to remove the cache.
How can the mounts be fixed and working? im running on OSX

My full devcontainer.json looks like:

{
    "name": "freqtrade Develop",
    "build": {
        "dockerfile": "Dockerfile",
        "context": ".."
    },
    "forwardPorts": [
        9000
    ],
    "mounts": [
        "source=freqtrade-bashhistory,target=/home/ftuser/commandhistory,type=volume",
        "source=/Users/alex/Desktop/mycustommountfolder/user_data,target=/insidecontainer/user_data,type=bind"
    ],
    "workspaceMount": "source=${localWorkspaceFolder},target=/workspaces/freqtrade,type=bind",
    "remoteUser": "ftuser",
    "onCreateCommand": "pip install --user -e .",
    "workspaceFolder": "/workspaces/freqtrade"
}

My docker file:

FROM freqtradeorg/freqtrade:develop

USER root


RUN apt-get update \
    && apt-get -y install zsh \
    && apt-get clean

RUN chsh -s $(which zsh) ftuser

# Install dependencies
COPY requirements-dev.txt /freqtrade/


RUN apt-get update \
    && apt-get -y install git mercurial sudo vim build-essential \
    && apt-get clean \
    && mkdir -p /home/ftuser/.vscode-server /home/ftuser/.vscode-server-insiders /home/ftuser/commandhistory \
    && echo "export PROMPT_COMMAND='history -a'" >> /home/ftuser/.bashrc \
    && echo "export HISTFILE=~/commandhistory/.bash_history" >> /home/ftuser/.bashrc \
    && chown ftuser:ftuser -R /home/ftuser/.local/ \
    && chown ftuser: -R /home/ftuser/

USER ftuser

RUN pip install --upgrade pip

RUN pip install --user autopep8 -r docs/requirements-docs.txt -r requirements-dev.txt --no-cache-dir

RUN pip install finta prettytable PyWavelets simdkalman pykalman scipy scikit-learn

# for notebook froggleton
RUN pip install tqdm quantstats


#RUN conda install numba
RUN pip install tensorflow
#RUN conda install -c conda-forge -y pandas jupyter
RUN pip install keras
#RUN conda install pytorch torchvision -c pytorch
RUN pip install darts

# Empty the ENTRYPOINT to allow all commands
ENTRYPOINT []

Something so "easy" should just work? I clearly do something wrong?
