Documentation for local Jenkins environment support with Windows Docker Toolbox #139
Description
If using the Docker Toolbox on Windows OS, the local Jenkins environment created by start.sh script uses directories mounted within the boot2docker virtual machine and shared with host OS by default. As a result, all code and tests that depend on the support of symbolic links do not work.
The workaround is to create dedicated volume on the virtual machine, that is not shared with host OS, and change the volumes section in the docker-compose.yml file to refer this volume instead of the home directory (~).
This workaround shall be at least documented or, even better, the start.sh script shall notify users, if it identifies this condition, and provide instructions.
