title: How to access Docker container shell and mount volumes using Portainer?
body: <p>I have installed Docker CE on Ubuntu 18.04 and I am using Portainer UI to make deploying containers easily.</p>
  
  <p>I am still a beginner in Docker, I have followed many tutorials but I am still clueless about Mounting volumes of running containers.</p>
  
  <p>For example;</p>
  
  <p>I installed Nginx using official image provided in the Portainer UI, it is running well and shows NGINX default page.</p>
  
  <p>Now I want to add my HTML files and edit NGINX configuration but I cannot find any files on my local hard drive.</p>
  
  <p>I know that Docker uses volumes to store encrypted data.. </p>
  
  <p>How do I mount the files of a running container onto my Ubuntu machine and edit configuration/html files on the go</p>
  
  <p>I like the idea of Docker, running apps in containers.</p>
  
  <p>I was able to deploy same containers in Heroku but mounting volumes, editing files, I have no clue about it.</p>
  
  <p>Sorry if this a stupid question.</p>
