Docker Compose manager extension

This extension aims to reduce context switches between your text editor (Visual Studio Code) and the terminal while rebuilding microservices. The Docker extension, while complete, doesn't allow rebuilding an image and restarting the service so, if you are working with microservices, you'll find yourself doing the following quite often:

docker compose stop myservice
docker compose build myservice [--no-cache]
docker compose up -d

This, at least for me, is very tiring and inconvenient, and that's why I created this extension. Now you can manage this command, among others, directly from the side bar of your text editor.

Important remarks for Linux users

If you are using the extension on Linux, you'll have to add your user to the docker group so you don't need to preface all the commands with sudo. This is a known theme and happens also with the official Docker extension. To do this, you can follow the steps in the official Docker page, but they are explained below for convenience:

sudo groupadd docker
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

After running those two commands, log out and log back in and you will be able to use the extension.
