View files in docker container

Question

I created a docker container. I can ssh into the docker container. How can I view files in my docker container with a GUI (specifically the WebStorm IDE)?

I'm running a MAC on OSX Yosemite 10.10.5.

Answer 1

The usual pattern is to mount your source code into the container as a volume. Your IDE can work with the files on your host machine and the processes running in the container can see the files. docs

There might be a way to set up remote file access with WebStorm, but I'd recommend trying the other approach first.

Answer 2

docker run daemon -v /mycodedir:/mydockerdir {libraryname}/{imagename}如果您挂载工作目录并将其映射到容器中运行文件的目录，则可以在Web Storm中进行编辑并查看它们。
