How to use `cage source mount` #95

Closed cburgmer closed 4 years ago

cburgmer commented 5 years ago

I don't fully understand how cage source mount is meant to work. Some guesses: a) Given source code and artifact (docker container) are the same, mounting the source will just replace what's in the container b) I will build my artifact and then run cage build after every change I want reflected in the container c) I have some kind of a dev mode inside the container to sidestep how the application is served in production

Examples: a) Will work for statics served via Nginx b) webpack build process or JAR artifact c) Run webpack dev mode in container?

The usual modes are (a) or (c). There are some issues with running large Node.js compilations inside a running container, because Node is extremely file-system intensive, and mounted file systems are slow.
