SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Docker container access in development environments varies between host, DinD (Docker-in-Docker), and DooD (Docker-outside-of-Docker). This skill provides environment detection and guidance to choose the correct access method.

Core Features & Use Cases

Environment detection → recommended access method based on host, DinD, or DooD contexts.
DooD-friendly sharing guidance and bind-mount caveats, with practical examples for common tools.
Quick references and examples for curl, Playwright MCP, and container-to-container connectivity.

Quick Start

Run the environment-detection steps to determine the Docker context (host, DinD, or DooD) and then follow the recommended access commands.

FAQPage Schema

How do I access a Docker container when localhost fails in DinD or DooD environments?▼

When localhost access fails in DinD or DooD environments, you must detect the active Docker context to determine the correct container access method. This skill identifies whether you are on a host, DinD, or DooD setup and provides the appropriate access commands for your specific environment.

What is the difference between DinD and DooD for Docker container connectivity?▼

DinD (Docker-in-Docker) runs a Docker daemon inside a container, while DooD (Docker-outside-of-Docker) accesses the host daemon. Container connectivity and file-sharing methods differ significantly between them, requiring environment detection to choose the correct approach for cross-environment operation.

How do I use curl to connect to a Docker container from another container?▼

To use curl for container-to-container connectivity, you need to first detect your Docker environment (host, DinD, or DooD) to identify the correct network address. This skill provides practical curl examples and access commands tailored to your specific Docker context.

Does Playwright MCP work with Docker-outside-of-Docker setups?▼

Yes, Playwright MCP works with DooD setups, but you must apply the correct environment detection steps first. This skill specifies the requirements for cross-environment operation and provides guidance and examples for using Playwright MCP safely within DooD contexts.

What are the bind-mount caveats when sharing files in DooD environments?▼

In DooD environments, bind-mount sharing has specific caveats due to differing file path resolutions between the host and the container. This skill provides DooD-friendly sharing guidance to help you navigate these file-sharing considerations and avoid common path-mapping pitfalls.
