Use Visual Studio to view your Docker containers and view XM Cloud CM files in the container.

If you have a valid Visual Studio license, here is a way to view the file system of the XM Cloud CM running on your local.

Open Visual Studio ( I am using ’22) and go to View –> Other Windows –> Click on Containers

Once you do that, you’ll be able to browse the containers that running in your Docker for Windows. Here is what it looks like when you want to see what the CM server file system looks like.

You can download files from here, but adding and editing are not allowed.

Happy Xmclouding!
