How to deploy Dockerfile and application files to boot2docker

Question

I\'m just starting to learn Docker, and I\'m trying to get a simple setup with boot2docker on Windows. I could not find in any tutorial or samples online how to make my project

Answer 1

Following your current progress, and presuming your samba container is running, you can find the path to the /data folder on your Boot2docker VM by running:

$ docker inspect 

This will list the containers configuration details. Near the very bottom you should see:

"Volumes": {

    "/data": "/mnt/sda1/var/lib/docker/vfs/dir/

That's your boot2docker vm /data path. Simply cd into that folder

$ cd /mnt/sda1/var/lib/docker/vfs/dir/

From Windows Explorer, Navigate to:

\\192.168.59.103\data

Now you can paste/copy/create some files into that data folder and you should see them populate on your Boot2docker VM at path: /mnt/sda1/var/lib/docker/vfs/dir/
