Is it possible to debug a bash script using a debugger in attached mode? For debugging scripts on the host machine and scripts inside a docker container? (lemmy.world)

I was able to setup a debugger using a launch mode using Visual Studio Code with the Bash Debug extension. Is it possible to setup the debugger in VSCode to be able to debug a bash script using a attach debug mode?

This is the extension I am using.

You can look at the code (it's open source), but the extension seems unmaintained and local only. It only launches the debugger locally and communicates with the debugger per socket with a random name. The extension itself would have to be modified...
