I am working with a project that has several containers being managed by a docker compose. I realized that was easier to make VSCode editor to connect to these containers to make feature 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 VSCode require.

The question is: is there a way to cache these packages locally?

I know that we can create “volumes” through docker-compose but I have NO clue which paths I should be using.

Maybe these two VSCode plugins are a cache configuration?

Thank you for reading 🙂
