Escaping text from a docker container to Bbedit?
Marshall Clow
I have some scripts that run in a container and generate text, and I’d like the text to end up in a bbedit window.
Before I dive in and figure out the best way to do this, I thought that I’d ask if anyone has done this before.
If I wasn’t in a docker container, I’d just do:
$ ./script.sh | bbedit —new-window —clean

The easiest option would be to save the text to the docker file system then go back on the Mac side, navigate to the storage folder and open it from there. Cheating horribly, but it will work. There is no way to call out to BBEdit from inside the container, would break the security of containers.

Obviously there’s a way to communicate outside of the container.

Something to the effect of docker run [options] <image> ./script.sh | bbedit --new-window --clean should work.
Or if the container is already running, docker exec <container> ./script.sh | bbedit --new-window --clean.
(You may need to cd to where the script is, or give the full path to the script. If the script is interactive, you may need -it.)

Good morning,
I agree that containers should be used "as containers", but there are lots of reasons to want to edit files in those containers (or any remote server) - and of course editing with BBEdit is the best. So have a look at rbbedit which allows you to edit within BBEdit from a remote server, including containers. (It does assume SFTP from container to host, but rbbedit supports multiple transfer options, so something other than SFTP may work better with containers.

Then why do people run web servers inside of containers? ;-)
Obviously there’s a way to communicate outside of the container.
