Description
I find myself developing on a VM and running Docker on that VM as part of my day-job workflow. Something that would be really nice is if the Docker plugin could automatically forward all of the ports in my docker-compose.yml so that I don't have to add them manually to my workspace.
If this is already an option somewhere and I've missed it, please do let me know. 🙏

Research direction
Start by checking how the Docker extension discovers ports from docker-compose.yml and how a workspace on a VM exposes those ports. Define the behavior for automatically forwarding all published Compose ports, then verify it in a remote workspace without manual port configuration.
