Is there a way to view WSL2 docker container's files via Windows File Explorer?

Question

I can bash into one of the containers, but sometimes it's much easier to view it in GUI app such as Windows File Explorer or Total Commander.

Is it possible in any way?

Answer 1

If the only thing you want is to view folder inside your container while in development, you can use the BIND MOUNTS: https://docs.docker.com/storage/bind-mounts/, which is kind of volume

This allows you to set "full" connection between your container specific folder to an input folder within your local machine.

You can apply it via ternimal with: docker run ......... -v <path_within_your_local_machine>:<path_within_container_file_system>.
