Live reload not working on Windows with docker

support
1

Hello there!

I have a problem with live-reload under Windows 10 and Docker. It doesn’t catch any changes on file system. I tried the following configuration under Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS (on Hyper-V) and don’t have this problem so configuration looks good for me. Please give me any ideas how to fix it.
I use:
Windows 10 Version 1909
hugo v0.62.0
hugo-academic theme v4.6.3
Docker Desktop Community 2.1.0.5

I created Docker image with the following Dockerfile

FROM ubuntu:19.04

ENV HUGO_SERVER=localhost
ENV HUGO_VERSION 0.62.0
ENV HUGO_BINARY hugo_extended_${HUGO_VERSION}_Linux-64bit.deb

WORKDIR /web

RUN apt update
RUN apt -y install wget curl vim git net-tools

RUN curl -sL -o /tmp/hugo.deb https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/download/v${HUGO_VERSION}/${HUGO_BINARY}
RUN dpkg -i /tmp/hugo.deb
RUN rm /tmp/hugo.deb


RUN addgroup --gid 1024 mfrgroup
RUN adduser --disabled-password --gecos "" --force-badname --ingroup mfrgroup mfruser

USER mfruser

EXPOSE 1313
CMD echo 'started'

And started docker container with docker-compose file

version: '3.7'
services:
  web:
    image:  local_hugo:0.62.0
    container_name: web
    command: hugo server --watch=true --bind 0.0.0.0
    ports:
      - 1313:1313
    volumes:
      - c:/Users/MyUser/mysite:/web

Everything is fine except hugo don’t catch changes on file system by live-reload. In Chrome ‘Network’ tool I can see that

  1. Request URL: ws://localhost:1313/livereload
  2. Request Method: GET
  3. Status Code: 101 Switching Protocols

Seems the same as in Ubuntu.

Any ideas?

Ok, found workaround that works for me.

Just created on Hyper-V Ubuntu virtual machine and ran docker container with the volume on Ubuntu host.
Developing on Ubuntu virtual machine with VSCode remote-ssh tools

Wrote instructions about it on github

Any further ideas are welcome.

This works now on Docker Desktop for Windows .
