[CR] symbolic link or multiple code folder support about docker-icecoder HOT 7 CLOSED

You're very welcome. Thanks for getting in touch, glad I could help you.

Happy coding!

What exactly do you mean with support of symbolic links? If you mean symbolic links from outside the docker container to the inside of the docker container, I am afraid that will not be supported. If you mean ICEcoder supporting symbolic links, I suggest hitting up the people from ICEcoder themselves, as this repository here is just a simple docker container wrapping ICEcoder.

As for the multiple foders for code, you coud always split your repositories into subfolders of /code. Or do you mean that GITURL should be cloned into its own folder inside of /code?

I would like to be able to map a local folder for example

/home/pi/user/python

but without pointing to the real folder but to a symbolic link created before the launch of the container ...
Thanks in advance

You could always mount to the code directory if you so desire:

volumes:
  - /home/pi/user/python:/code/python

which would map the python folder from your your users home directory inside the /code/python- directory inside the container.

Another example I just tested:

    volumes:
      - ./icecoder/plugins:/plugins
      - ./icecoder/data:/data
      - ./icecoder/config:/config
      - ./icecoder/code:/code
      - /home/griefed/Downloads:/code/Downloads

Results in:

icecoder/code/
├── Downloads
├── giturl.lock
└── ServerPackCreator
    ├── build.gradle
    ├── CHANGELOG.md

so, i can also mount multiple source folders as follows in docker create command?

-v /home/pi/python/:/code/python
-v /home/pi/java/:/code/java

Thanks again

Aye, as long as you do not mount the base folder /code, so only subfolders of /code, it's fine.
Symlinks from the host to the container do not work. Believe me, I tried that too, back when I got into Docker.😂

Be aware though:
Say you mapped /code as follows:
./icecoder/code:/code
and another directory as follow:
/home/griefed/Downloads:/code/Downloads
and Downloads contains 10 files.

If you were to check the ./icecoder/code/Downloads folder on the host, it will appear empty, but if you check inside the container, the aforementioned 10 files are there. If you delete a from the /code/Downloads folder in the container, say from the ICEcoder webinterface for example, that file will be deleted from /home/griefed/Downloads.
Just something to be aware of, as it can be confusing at times.

Sure,

I tried making a change and saving the file from the File-Save menu

The changed files in the container are synchronized with the host folder. This is correct!!!
It is obvious that if I delete a file from the IDE, I also delete it on the host.

I close the issue
Thank you
