如何访问在Windows OS的Docker工具箱Linux容器中创建的项目目录？

Question

I have just installed Docker ToolBox on Windows 10 OS and created a Linux Python container. I have cloned a project from GitHub in that container. How can I access the project directories that are created in the Linux containers on my Windows OS? Are they saved in any drive or directory?

I have obtained the docker image container using the command

docker pull floydhub/dl-docker:cpu

and running it using the command

docker run -it -p 8888:8888 -p 6006:6006 -v /sharedfolder:/root/sharedfolder floydhub/dl-docker:cpu bash

Also I am running my project using docker quick start terminal, is there any other way (GUI based) to manage and run my projects?

More details about how your Linux Python container was launched, IE the build file/ run command, would be helpful. But that being said, you can copy files out of a container using docker cp as described here: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/cp/

Also, if you use volumes you can view the cloned repo right on your Windows machine directly, but those volumes must be setup during the build process and cannot be added to a running container. More details on volumes and how data persistence works in docker: https://docs.docker.com/engine/admin/volumes/volumes/

To answer your question about a GUI docker tool, I've used Kitematic ( https://kitematic.com/ ) but personally found the CLI faster and easier to use.

Edit According to edits you do in fact have volumes that will persist data to your local Windows machine. But I believe you need to use a separate -v flag for each: (docker documentation is unclear about this as they now suggest using --mount, but according to this SO post: Mounting multiple volumes on a docker container? suggests the multiple flags):

docker -v /sharedfolder:/root/sharedfolder \
       -v floydhub/dl-docker:cpu

A side note: it is sometimes confusing to not use absolute paths when mounting volumes as you've done in floydhub/dl-docker:cpu. Its not always clear where this data might live.

Any data that is stored in the docker container at /root/sharedfolder should be available in Windows at /sharedfolder

Edit 2 To match your original docker run command:

docker run -it -p 8888:8888 -p 6006:6006 -v /sharedfolder:/root/sharedfolder -v floydhub/dl-docker:cpu bash
