inotify-proxy

This tools helps to detect changed files in Docker containers. If a file is changed from hostsystem a file watcher inside the container detects the change and triggers a inotify event.

Purpose

Enables file watcher in a Docker container with a NFS mounted filesystem.

Usage

Usage of ./inotify-proxy:
  -no-config
        Do not load config.
  -profile string
        Defines a special profile with extensions to look for. This speeds up the process. Available profiles are 'magento2-theme' (default "default")
  -sleep int
        Cycle time in seconds. Defines time to sleep after each filesystem walk. Default 2s (default 2)

Examples

# Magento 2 Profile
./inotify-proxy -profile magento2 path/to/your/project

# Change frequence of file checks to 5s (default 2s)
./inotify-proxy -sleep 5 path/to/your/project

# Multiple pathes to watch ...
./inotify-proxy project/path1 project/path2
