Docker run targets

Docker is great for running and debugging your application, because you can replicate any environment in a container. For example, the reporter of an issue may provide you with a specific Docker image where they are able to reproduce the problem. To run or debug your application in a Docker container, you can use Run targets.

Create a Docker run target

1. Press CtrlAlt0S to open the IDE settings and then select Build, Execution, Deployment | Run Targets.

2. Click and select Docker.

3. Configure and create the Docker target as described in Run Targets: Docker.

Run or debug your application on a Docker run target

• Create a new run or debug configuration for your application or configure an existing one to use the Docker run target.
