Docker and .bash_history

Question

Is there any way to share a .bash_history volume with a docker container so that everytime I go into a shell I have my bash history available for scrolling thro

Answer 1

To keep IPython history, you can set the IPYTHONDIR environment variable to somewhere within your mapped volume.

The docker-compose.override.yml would look like this:

version: '2'
services:
  some-service:
    environment:
      - IPYTHONDIR=/app/.ipython
    volumes:
      - .:/app
