Really basic question as a starter

[ChrisSQL]

I'm running the docker watch command and it's building etc but when I actually modify code on the front end it doesn't update unless I cd into the front end folder and run that independently.

Is there a docker command I haven't seen that pushes the updates to docker? I've even deleted the containers and rebuilt and still has old original base code.

Ideally I could hot reload but for now I just want to see the actual code updates.

Thanks in advance.

I'm a bit new to this project so take what I say with a grain of salt, but I believe that the frontend isn't intended to hot reload when it's running via docker. From the frontend docs:

Notice that this live server is not running inside Docker, it's for local development, and that is the recommended workflow. Once you are happy with your frontend, you can build the frontend Docker image and start it, to test it in a production-like environment. But building the image at every change will not be as productive as running the local development server with live reload.

You should run frontend locally (without docker).
