Ultimate docker on OSX collection - mapping docker files to local

Yes, you’ve heard, and have looked around here, here, or maybe here, it’s different to Linux with a simple volume mapped to your local machine. In OSX world, Docker is working in a VirtualBox…

So the file permission got be a problem, you can’t simply change its group or permission, neither. let’s fix it.

The idea is like this:

  • Everything in Docker operate as normal.
  • Create a new docker container that serves a ssh endpoint.
  • Connect to that ssh point, and get access to the file system inside our docker.
  • Get deeper, map the files of docker volume to local file system.

Let’s get started.

Run your containers as normal.

Go to your docker-compose directory, edit the file docker-compose.yml.

sshd:
  image: 'krlmlr/debian-ssh'
  ports:
    - '2222:22'
  environment:
    - SSH_KEY=ssh-rsa AAAAxxxx_ssh_rsa_pub_content rankun203@gmail.com
  volumes_from:
    - data
  working_dir: /var/www/html

Run it

1
docker-compose up sshd

Mount the docker file system to your local file system:

1
sshfs -p 2222 root@youdar.dev:/var/www/html ~/docker/nhweb -oauto_cache,reconnect,defer_permissions,noappledouble,negative_vncache,volname=nhweb

Notes:

  • volname=nhweb is the directory name of the mount point.
  • ~/docker/nhweb is the mount point.
  • These options are selected for more friendly and less errors.

Now your local folder ~/docker/nhweb are just the same as inside the Docker, but with the right access rights.

Notes:

  • All the file created by you will on the name of root user inside the docker.
  • If you want to use another limited user with sudo permission, use docker.

UPDATE (2018-05-11):

Our team at LodeStream has built a scaffold specifically for Wordpress development. You can check it out today and start play with it. Out of the box, it supports:

  • Docker, Docker Compose
  • Let’s encrypt HTTPS
  • Nginx as a reverse proxy with auto generated config
  • Simplified domain configuration
  • More information in the repo

使用现有的 MySQL 数据库。

  • sudo docker create -v "$PWD":/var/www/html --name wordpressNameStore php
  • sudo docker run -d --name wordpressName --link mysql:mysql --volumes-from=htmlstore -p 800x:80 youdar/wordpress

其它提示

  • Remove dangling volumes: sudo docker volume ls -f dangling=true | awk 'FNR > 1 {print $2}' | xargs sudo docker volume rm

  • Run a nginx at current dir: sudo docker run -it --rm -v "$PWD":/usr/share/nginx/html -p 8081:80 nginx

  • sudo docker inspect --format="" nginx | json_pp
