Change your Docker Desktop settings — File sharing

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). Use File sharing to allow local directories on your machine to be shared with Linux containers. This is especially useful for editing source code in an IDE on the host while running and testing the code in a container. Share only the directories that you need with the container. File sharing introduces overhead as any changes to the files on the host need to be notified to the Linux VM. Sharing too many files can lead to high CPU load and slow filesystem performance. Shared folders are designed to allow application code to be edited on the host while being executed in containers. For non-code items such as cache directories or databases, the performance will be much better if they are stored in the Linux VM, using a data volume (named volume) or data container. If you share the whole of your home directory into a container, Mac may prompt you to give Docker access to personal areas of y Attribution: Adapted from Docker Documentation under Apache-2.0.
