I have a docker file that looks like this. How can I access this volume from the host? I checked the volumes folder where Docker is installed.
FROM busybox

RUN mkdir -p /enonic-xp/home
RUN adduser -h /enonic-xp/ -H -u 1337 -D -s /bin/sh enonic-xp
RUN chown -R enonic-xp /enonic-xp/
VOLUME /enonic-xp/home
ADD logo.txt /logo.txt
CMD cat /logo.txt
ls
$ docker volume ls
DRIVER VOLUME NAME
local b4e99290fd4d5f7a3fe700ae9b616c2e66b1f758c497662415cdb47905427719
I would like to be able to cd into that volume.
inspect
docker volume inspect b4e99290fd4d5f7a3fe700ae9b616c2e66b1f758c497662415cdb47905427719

After looking at a lot of posts, I finally found a post that address the question asked here.
Getting path and accessing persistent volumes in Docker for Mac
Note: this works only for Mac.
The path for the tty may also be present here:
~/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/vm/*/tty
Docker volume ls lists all volumes docker volume inspect lets you inspect a volume. If you cant find your volume with docker volume ls try docker inspect your container and check for info there
Instead of doing it within the dockerfile, you can simply mount with docker run -v /path/in/host:/path/in/container image-name....
