Feature ask: How to complete on host based on env in a docker container?

[QiangZiBro]

Hello, I love using coc.nvim. I use docker containers as my daily running environment, and I need Python/C++/CUDA env in the docker containers.
I would like to ask if it's possible to let coc.nvim complete from the env in a docker container? I thought about the potential solutions:

1. Install neovim+coc.nvim inside of docker container. This is too complicated and have to install every time when I use a container.
2. Copy the libraries (Python/C++/CUDA) from container to a directory in host, then let coc.nvim find from them. But I don't know how to do this yet.

Anybody has ideas? Thank you!

It should be possible to make vim and coc.nvim work in your container, but I think you'd better code on your own machine and deploy the code to container, since the resources accessible by container is very limited, and coc.nvim, LS requires lots of resources.

You can copy the header files and configure clangd to recognize them.

I think @QiangZiBro is requesting something similar to what you can do in VS Code.

Yeah, it can be done with some mordern IDEs, curious about how can it be done in nvim elegantly

Great, one more question, how to let coc.nvim find python packages in a custom directory?
