Have you tried running this without that being set but providing the Document Root (assuming you have the files locally mapped like @rodyon mentioned?

k, well, here's the text I was going to put in the Description field: Right now in the VS Code extension where you go to add a server, the Server Home field is a required field on the Local Server Settings tab in the add server wizard. When CF is running in Docker, there is not a way to expose this externally (yes, you can hack something that will copy those files to a mapped volume, but that is one-way and still won't let the host access the actual server home in the container). This feature request is to allow adding a server that is running in a container and, ultimately, to ensure that RDS is supported for CF running in a Docker environment. Note that running CF outside a container for development and then deploying to Docker for production is not an option for many people. Having dev and prod environments as identical as possible is the only feasible option in many cases, so this is a must-have feature as containerization becomes the industry norm.

for now, I will adamantly give up (since knowing it won't currently work with Docker) and wait til I hear more

is there a way to submit a bug report where the product is tracker.adobe.com itself? 😂

@Mark Takata (Adobe) are you able to submit a FR? If you can get it to work, I'll likewise upvote
