More details - How to get OTEL from custom container resource

Description

I want to get the OTel and log stream from a dotnet project container, and I think I need to use WithOtlpExporter:

var backend = builder.AddContainer("backend", "ghcr.io/maddymontaquila/multirepodemo-backend")
.WithLifetime(ContainerLifetime.Persistent)
.WithOtlpExporter()
.WithHttpEndpoint(targetPort: 8080, name: "endpoint");

The logs flow through, but none of the OTel stuff does, even though the env is set in the container vars:

There seems to be a bug here - dotnet/aspire#4131 but googling this is proving impossible because you can also containerize the dashboard and all the results are for that lol
