Syncing Files with Docker-Compose Watch
When using Docker to create portable and easy reproducible development environments, we need to found a way to make changes to our codebase, immediately effective inside containers, without the need to re-build them each time. A possible solution consists into mounting host directories directly inside containers; this, however, requires breaking containers isolation and portability, since they become dependant on the host directory structure. To solve this problem, we can use docker-compose watch.

ONLYOFFICE 8.3 Released with Improved RTL Support, Enhanced Compatibility & New Features Across All Editors
One of the many reasons I like open-source software is that, unlike new Windows releases, it keeps getting better with every update and new version without compromising existing features that already work well.
