Hit the Alpine linux file system that launches Docker-for-mac

I play with the (awesome) new Docker-for-mac. As far as I understand, it works fine on my Mac in alpine Linux "backstage". Is there an ssh way in this host so that I can see the file system. I want to see the place where docker stores volume data in / var / lib / docker / ....

EDIT: to be clear, this is the host file system I want to access, not the containers that run on it. this is an alpine host

thanks

Docker for Mac does not use the normal tcp network for ssh, but you can connect to the unix socket on your Mac using:

screen ~/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/com.docker.driver.amd64-linux/tty

and log in as root

This seems pretty undocumented, so YMMV - it worked for me in version 1.12.0-rc3-beta18 - it may change in future versions.
