Syncing in Skaffold to the container works well. However, applications sometimes change files on the filesystem themselves. If this happens inside the container, it is hard to get that change quickly during development.
Mounting directories is tricky and slow, also can collide with Skaffold's one directional filesync. Maybe Skaffold should be able to help with syncing back from the container in dev mode.
Our use case: We have a complex application with 100+ json configuration files. These files are updated by the application UI running in the container. To save them in git we need to get them back out to the developers environment.
We have tried using minikube volume mounts for this use case. It works- but has some drawbacks - such as complexity (we want to keep things simple for the developer), it doesn't work on non minikube environments, and you can get into a sync loop race with skaffold as files are updated.
