Dockrsync

Dockrsync is a tool that will rsync changes to files from your project directory to a docker container.

This allows you to do local development on MacOS without the read performance issues of shared filesystems (such as vboxsf, osxfs, and NFS) that slow down interpretation and compilation.

Additionally it will allow local development against a remote docker engine from MacOS and Linux, as long as your docker client is configured to connect to the remote docker-engine.

Prerequisites

• Docker - (Docker for Mac, docker-machine or docker in Linux)
• docker-compose - Comes with most Docker installations
• rsync - v2.6 is available on MacOS, though v3.1+ is recommended, brew install rsync
• fswatch - brew install fswatch

The Docker containers will need to have rsync installed within them.
