Problem In VS Code Container Tools, I can run Compose Up and manage Compose groups, but I can’t find a command to refresh all images used by a compose file/group (equivalent to docker compose pull). Why this matters For multi-service stacks, updating all images is a frequent step before restart/deploy. Today this requires custom scripts/tasks outside the extension. Requested feature Add a command such as: Containers: Compose Pull Containers: Compose Update Images Suggested behavior: Detect compose files in workspace (or use selected compose group). Pull all referenced images (optionally selected services). Show progress/output in the extension terminal/output channel. Offer optional follow-up actions (e.g., Compose Up / recreate changed services). Environment Extension: ms-azuretools.vscode-containers OS: Windows Compose workflow: local multi-service stack
Type: Feature Request When running Docker Compose commands via the Docker extension UI (e.g., right-clicking a container and selecting "Compose Stop"), the terminal shows: "* Terminal will be reused by tasks, press any key to close it." This requires manual intervention to close the terminal after each command finishes. Custom VS Code tasks support a presentation property to auto-close terminals: "presentation": { "close": true }
