serve does not reload changes with Docker

[jaceklaskowski]

Hi,

I'm curious if others are experiencing issues with mkdocs serve that does not seem to reload changes when used in Docker and a mounted directory.

My setup uses a custom-made Docker image FROM squidfunk/mkdocs-material-insiders:INSIDERS_TAG that is executed using:

docker run --rm \
  -it \
  -p 8000:8000 \
  -v ${PWD}:/docs \
  jaceklaskowski/mkdocs-material-insiders \
  serve --dirtyreload --verbose --dev-addr 0.0.0.0:8000

All files are in https://github.com/japila-books/japila-books.github.io.

Thanks for reporting. I assume it also happens with the none-Insiders version? Could be related to Docker / MkDocs itself.

Does this first happen with the latest version, or did it never work?

It works with mkdocs<1.2 in requirements.txt. Right after I git restore requirements.txt and build the image it stops reloading pages (although I can see messages in the log about monitoring files).

I haven't had much time to investigate it further as it works OK locally (with the change) and while deploying to github pages.

I see, so it's related to MkDocs 1.2 then, which includes a new livereload implementation. Could you open an issue on their issue tracker?

Thanks for this awesome project. Also glad to have this discussion forum here. I just ran into this issue in Docker myself and spent a bit debugging it. Glad to have found this discussion so I know its not just me.
