Link Docker Container to Volumes

Question

I currently have a codebase for Drupal using Drupal-VM vagrant box and VirtualBox. I would like to migrate to docker but I am unaware on how to integrate it with my existing code base.

Can anyone help me? I have followed instructions from Docker Hub - Drupal Install Steps and MySQL and Drupal Container to spin up mysql and Drupal images but how do I make it point to my pre-existing codebase?

Answer 1

after spinning up the docker container you can copy the existing code to the container using docker cp docker cp docs

as far as the database you can just import it to the mysql container

to link the container to a volume use the -v flag when starting the container
