Access rights to the Workbench data directory of Dockerized Workbench
I switched to Linux and found out that Linux version of Xpress does not include Workbench (nor IVE). (By the way, this information is rather hidden in the documentation.) I am therefore experimentin...
The advantage of symlinks is that I can link a whole directory, since my projects normally consists of several .mos file plus other files. Moreover, these files are often integrated in bigger projects, so while I do model development in Workbench, I need the complete setups for actual usage of the models.
This also means that if I just copy the files to the data folder, I need to copy them manually back in order to test them...
I have many of those directories on my computer, sorted under projects they belong to - so my plan (when I found about the dockerized Workbench) was to symlink the directories "on demand" to the Workbench data directory.
But I guess I could just create a directory and then hard-link all files - I tested this and it works.
(Interestingly, using `mount --bind` on a directory does not work either, i.e., it is not discovered by the app.)
But I am open for other types of setups - any idea how others are using this dockerized Workbench?
I guess one could create a setup that would start the container with Workbench data directory pointing to the current working directory, or something along those lines?
By the way, are there any plans to bring a proper Workbench, or other Mosel IDE, to Linux?
