PhpStorm and Docker: read-only container code

Question

I'm using PhpStorm with Docker plugin.

I'm connecting to my docker daemon via "Docker for Windows".

I can view the files from container in editor but I cannot modify them. In VS Code I can modify them. Is it possible to do so in PhpStorm as well, and how?

Are you running vscode as admin / a user with elevated permissions? People usually run their docker containers as root, (which I don't prefer personally) and you try to access / edit files in it as a normal user,it will cause permission issues. — Hisham

Running it as normal user. Tried to run Storm as administrator but problem persists. — user8555937

No, it's not possible in PhpStorm. A possibility to edit & save files in a container is being worked on, see https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-176734#focus=Comments-27-3565950.0-0.

There are two possible workarounds:

You can try editing your files with a host editor.

You can try running docker cp command to get the file out of the container, then editing it and copying it back and restarting the container.
