Add “Compose Pull / Update All Images” command for Docker Compose projects #414

Description

@beatgrabe

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:

  1. Detect compose files in workspace (or use selected compose group).
  2. Pull all referenced images (optionally selected services).
  3. Show progress/output in the extension terminal/output channel.
  4. 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
