This utility will connect to Docker service and watch every folder that has been mapped to
Docker. Whenever a file is change, it will trigger a chmod command to it on the Docker
container.
- Make sure you have Chocolatey installed.
- Run the command in a elevated prompt:
choco install docker.watchforwarder
When you are using Linux Containers on Docker for Windows and you change a Windows file that has been mapped to a container, it doesn't have a file system event on the container. This can be annoying in some situation; for instance:
- Using Docker to run a Web site that uses some live reload technique, and code the site on Windows host.
- Using Docker to run a .NET Core backend that uses .NET Watcher.
- Some other container solution that relies on file system events.
