I created a dockerized version of my neovim which gave me an easy way to bring my config with me to any computer I used. However, the docker commands necessary to mount an entire project directory into the container or have clipboard access were very messy so I'm placing them here in a form that can easily be curl'd straight into a bashrc or zshenv.

Some things I was hoping to achieve with these functions:

  • Mount the current directory or entire git project inside the container
  • Persistent undo and backups
  • Shared clipboard with host
