Is it possible for WakaTime to "copy" the api key to remote container instead of reasking?

[Ilyes512]

I am using Vscode Remote: Containers and because WakaTime is a workspace extension kind it keeps asking me for the wakatime key everytime I rebuild. Is it possible to just copy this from the host instead?

If you have access to change the container's build process then you can add a line to the Dockerfile to copy your config across. Something like this:
COPY --chown=${USER_UID}:${USER_GID} .wakatime.cfg /home/${USERNAME}/

I wonder if the developers of the Wakatime extension could add getting the API key from the ENV.

This would allow users to add the API key as an ENV var in VSCode's dev-container settings, for the Wakatime extension could try to grab it from the container's environment on each rebuild.
