Docker Credentials Helper Fails after a few hours

[mudged]

What happened?
After a few hours of the DevContainer being up, calls to docker-credentials-devpod return
Error retrieving list credentials: Post "http://localhost:12049/docker-credentials": dial tcp 127.0.0.1:12049: connect: connection refused

This was initially working as expected. The same behaviour has been observed on different DevContainers and the same one (after restart)

What did you expect to happen instead?
Docker credential helper is still able to retrieve credentials

How can we reproduce the bug? (as minimally and precisely as possible)

Start DevContainer using DevPod (ssh provider, IntelliJ IDE, Windows 11 host, multipass Ubuntu VM).

Leave active for 1/2 hours and then run docker-credentials-devpod list.

Local Environment:

• DevPod Version: 0.5.13
• Operating System: Windows 11
• ARCH of the OS: AMD64

DevPod Provider:

• Cloud Provider: n/a
• Kubernetes Provider: n/a
• Local/remote provider: ssh
• Custom provider: n/a

Anything else we need to know?
Inject docker credentials selected on provider

@mudged thanks for reporting the issue, we'll look into it. Just to confirm, there's no output if you run ps -aux | grep credentials-server but a file lock in $TMPDIR/devpod-credentials.lock?

The process is no longer alive (only grep is shown)

$ docker-credential-devpod list
Error retrieving list credentials: Post "http://localhost:12049/docker-credentials": dial tcp 127.0.0.1:12049: connect: connection refused

$ ps -aux | grep credentials-server
mtx       111666  0.0  0.0   3324  1556 pts/0    S+   15:13   0:00 grep credentials-server

No lock file

$ cat $TMPDIR/devpod-credentials.lock
cat: /devpod-credentials.lock: No such file or directory

If I restart the DevContainer, I see the process but no lock file

$ ps -aux | grep credentials-server
