IDE Support for DevKinsta

Hi @DavidM! Welcome to the Kinsta community!

I understand that you want to use an IDE for development and access files directly on the Docker containers themselves. I have looked into options, and one option would be to use VS Code with the “Remote - Containers” extension installed. You can find an article online that might help get you started here: https://www.howtogeek.com/devops/how-to-edit-code-in-docker-containers-with-visual-studio-code/

Please note, however, that it’s typically not recommended to make direct modifications to the files on the running Docker containers. It’s recommended that you make changes external of the Docker containers. The site files should be located in the site path shown in the site info page in DevKinsta.

Additionally, if you pull changes from a staging environment in MyKinsta, changes made within the container may be overwritten.

Please let us know if you have any further questions or need anything clarified!

Best regards!
