'How to install vscode extension in dockerfile?
Adding extensions into .devcontainer will make vscode install them every time I reopen the folder in container, which can not take advantage from docker layer cache to accelerate the starting even if extension settings are not changed. Is there a way to install these extensions in Dockerfile?
Solution 1:[1]
Per the VS Code Documentation, the extensions property is specific to VS Code and can only be configured using .devcontainer.
The best you can do is if the extension has a CLI, you can install that. For example,
RUN npm install prettier -D --save-exact
Then use npx:
npx prettier --check .
