for anyone from future.
I was able to get it working the issue seems to be something with my docker image.
by looking through the code of lspcontainers.nvim i was able to get the docker cmd for how to setup the container
the following is my user server settings
{
"servers": {
"python": {
"command": [
"docker",
"run",
"-i",
"--rm",
"-v",
"/home:/home",
"docker.io/lspcontainers/python-lsp-server"
],
"url": "https://github.com/python-lsp/python-lsp-server",
"highlightingModeRegex": "^Python$",
"settings": {
"pylsp": {
"plugins": {
"jedi_completion": {
"enabled": true,
"include_params": true
},
"pycodestyle": {
"enabled": false
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
the docker containers provided by lspcontainers can be found here
https://github.com/lspcontainers/lspcontainers.nvim/blob/main/lua/lspcontainers/init.lua
I have not tested others but pylsp works in kate.
Also im not sure but i would suggest that anyone trying to do this, make sure you mount your project folder inside the container where it is on your host.
or you could do like what i did by just mounting your home directory to the container.
