Hey there!

Ich habe beim De-/Installieren von Plugins massive Probleme. Beim Aufruf von `bin/console plugin:refresh` erhielt ich dann folgende Fehlermeldungen:

```auto
The '/var/www/html/custom/plugins/PickwareDhl/composer.json' has some warnings:

Ich verwende das aktuelle Image von Dockware `dockware/essentials:latest`. Logischerweise kann unter `/usr/local/bin/` kein Cache-Directory sein. Deshalb habe ich versucht den Pfad sowohl über die composer.json im Shopware Root als auch unter `~/.composer/config.json` anzupassen:

```auto
{
    "config": {
        "cache-dir": "/var/www/.composer/cache"
    }
}

```

Leider ohne Erfolg. Wie kann ich Shopware bzw. Composer sagen welches Cache-Dir zu verwenden ist?
