Describe the bug

Hey, I'm currently looking to contribute to CCCL, but I couldn't set the devcontainer mentioned here: https://github.com/NVIDIA/cccl/blob/main/.devcontainer/README.md

I am on Linux and tried both with and without VSCode. Both of these gave me this error:

docker: 'docker volume create' requires at most 1 argument

This is the issue with the 'launch.sh' script itself in the '.devcontainer' directory.

How to Reproduce

  1. Install 'docker'
  2. Clone the repository and use the [launch.sh] script to launch the default container environment.
    git clone https://github.com/nvidia/cccl.git cd cccl ./.devcontainer/launch.sh --docker

Expected behavior

This script should start an interactive shell as the coder user inside the container with the local cccl/ directory mirrored into /home/coder/cccl
