Add ability to change location of .vscode-remote-containers
I can't find a way to change location of .vscode-remote-containers as I do not want it in my home folder. Is there any way to change it and if not, can this be added?
it would indeed be super useful to be able to change this location and configure like the vscode server install path the location of the remote containers
Which sub-extension is even responsible for this folder? Is it the dev containers one? I'm not using dev containers at all. Why is this file being created and downloaded by default when nothing is configured?
In any case, whatever extension that is using it in this pack needs something akin to remote.SSH.serverInstallPath
On the remote, writes into $HOME are extremely slow, so I set this to a different directory.
Why does vscode try to extract this tarball every time?

as workaround I'm using the following on the remote server:
$ mkdir -p /path/to/desired/location/.vscode-server
$ mkdir -p /path/to/desired/location/.vscode-remote-containers
$ rm -rf ${HOME}/.vscode-server
$ rm -rf ${HOME}/.vscode-remote-containers
$ ln -s /path/to/desired/location/.vscode-server/ ${HOME}/.vscode-server
$ ln -s /path/to/desired/location/.vscode-remote-containers/ ${HOME}/.vscode-remote-containers
