title: Accessing Docker Volume content on MacOS
body: <p>When I do a <code>docker volume inspect &lt;dockerid&gt;</code> on a Mac, I can see the path to the data, this appears as a <code>/var/lib/docker/volumes/&lt;volume name&gt;</code></p>
  
  <p>On a Mac, this link does not exist, because docker runs on inside a very tiny VM.</p>
  
  <p>I can use <code>screen ~/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/vms/0/tty</code> to get into the vm and then navigate to the folder to see the volumes.</p>
  
  <p>So got all that, but my question is: <strong>How do I link what is in these volumes on my host machine?</strong></p>
  
  <p>I have tried this: <code>docker run -it --volume hello:/hello2 --name access_volumes busybox:latest /bin/sh</code> Where hello is the name of a volume I have created.</p>
  
  <p>I can link a folder on my host machine to the container, but I want to backup the content or edit the content of the Volume from my host machine.</p>
  
  <p>How do I do that?</p>
