Another shim to allow Linux containers running on Docker for Windows to watch for file changes in bind mounts. This shim requires a recent version of Node.js, but has no other dependencies.
If you specify one or more container names or ids, all bind mounts on these containers will be watched. The starting and stopping of containers will not be monitored.
No error handling. Probably reacts poorly to mounted files (as opposed to directories). No sanity checking of watch events. Some of this might be on the horizon.
This tool directly queries the Docker Engine API to look up containers, find running containers, monitor starting/stopping containers, and send commands to containers. It finds all of the bind mounts for the appropriate container(s), and determines the real Windows path and the Linux container's path to each one. It uses `fs.watch` to watch the directory from within Windows. For each change, it sends `chmod + /mounted/path/of/modified.file` to the container.
