I resolved this problem by switching to the remote server's Docker context on my local machine:
docker context create some-context-label --docker "host=ssh://user@remote_server_ip"
docker context use some-context-label
docker ps
# A list of remote containers on my local machine! It works!
After that:
- Connect via Remote-SSH to the container server
- Right click relevant container -> the "Attach Visual Studio Code"
That works for me.
(Note: One would think that I should be able to just use my local VSCode (skip step 1) to connect to said remote container after switching my local context, but VSCode complains Failed to connect. Is docker running? in the Docker control pane.)

This might sound very strange, but for me, I had to open a folder on the remote SSH server prior to using the Remote Containers extension in VS Code. If I didn't do that, then it would constantly try to find the docker service running locally, even though the terminal tab was connected to the remote SSH server.
This seems very weird, because if you're conncted via SSH in VS Code, then the extension should assume you're trying to attach to the container on the remote server. Shouldn't have to open a remote folder first.
By "opening a folder" on the remote server, the Remote Containers extension was then able to attach VS code to the container running on the remote SSH server. I didn't have to do any of the steps in any of those articles. Just simply use Remote SSH to connect VS Code remotely via SSH, open a folder, and then use Remote Containers.
