Licobox

Docker Containers

Licobox includes a Docker engine for managing containers, with support such as port forwarding and bind mounts/volumes.

Docker CLI

Section titled “Docker CLI”

Licobox runs on Docker Engine and is fully compatible with the Docker CLI. It supports port forwarding, bind mounts, and volumes.

daemon.json configuration

Section titled “daemon.json configuration”

You can configure the daemon through a JSON configuration file located at ~/.licobox/docker/daemon.json.

This file allows you to define daemon settings such as registries, insecure registries, and other related options.

Docker Context

Section titled “Docker Context”

Licobox will automatically use licobox context when it starts.

To maintain compatibility with other tools that rely on /var/run/docker.sock, run the following command:

Terminal window
licobox config-docker set-docker-socket

Hot reload compatibility

Section titled “Hot reload compatibility”

Development tools such as Bun, Node.js, Ruby, and Air can significantly speed up the development cycle through hot reloading. Licobox supports this workflow by automatically forwarding file changes from the host machine to the container, allowing your application to reload instantly as you work.
