Bind Mounts

Assignment

• Use a Jekyll "Static Site Generator" to start a local web server

• Don't have to be web developer: this is example of bridging the gap between local file access and apps running in container

• source code is in the course repo under bindmount-sample-1

• We edit files with editor on our host using native tools

• Container detects changes with host files and updates web server

• start container with docker run -p 80:4000 -v $(pwd):/site bretfisher/jekyll-serve

• Refresh our browser to see changes

• Change the file in _posts/ and refresh browser to see changes

Solution

docker run -p 80:4000 -v D:\Programovanie\Github\udemy-docker-mastery\bindmount-sample-1:/site bretfisher/jekyll-serve

Then I just edited files locally in VS Code and checked changes in browser.
