I’m using the java client and working with remote api on a limited implementation so far. My goal is to use a since image to spin up multiple containers then dynamically enable those containers to access a host directly that has developer code. In this case it is a container running Tomcat and .war files.
I don’t want to include the .war files in the images since that would created hundreds of images. Via the command line I can copy a .war into a container, which could okay but there doesn’t seem to be an option for that in the remote api. Ideally, I would like to make mounts points available for the container to use and that the developer can continuously update their code. If that’s possible it would be great, but as of yet I haven’t found the right combination. I have tried HostConfig : Binds:["/host/path:/container/path"] which shows up in the container info but doesn’t seem to do what I wish. Any and all help would be greatly appreciate.
To add a little detail.
Doing an inspect on my container I have the below structure which I believe is what I need.
The output of doing an inspect on the container created is below.
