I am working with a project that has several containers being managed by Docker Compose. I realized that was easier to make VS Code editor connect to these containers to make features like auto-complete to work properly.

The problem is that every now and then I need to force those containers to be recreated which I noticed makes the container re-download some packages that VS Code requires.

Is there a way to cache these packages locally?

I know that we can create “volumes” through Docker Compose but I don’t know which paths I should be using.

Maybe these two VS Code plugins are a cache configuration?
