Recovering data from docker volume
I am fan of running my development environment fully inside dev-container. Something funny happened yesterday, while trying to Symfony 6.0. I prepared dev-container environment and changed few configuration inside dockerfile to rebuild machine with PHP ext-intl extension. The rebuild was giving error, so I locked outside, I was not able to change dockerfile as it was part of machine. Luckily, the code I was working on was mounted as a volume.
- Open the Docker Dashboard
- Install the extension "Volume Backup & Share"
- Find the Volumes
- Select the files you want to recover from volume. (The culprit for me was Dockerfile, it was on volume, the accidental mistake)
- Save these files, you can select a folder also.
- Save the folder/files as Zip, (make sure you mention correct ".zip" extension)
Thats it.
