User Settings

/workspaces/template-jetbrains-phpstorm is mounted as the home dir in the Docker container so that settings and projects can be version controlled and thus persisted between launches. After creating the template adjust the bind mount .gitpod.yml as required with name of your git repository:

# Original
sudo docker run --rm -p 8887:8887 -v /workspace/template-jetbrains-phpstorm/.jetbrains:/home/projector-user 

# Updated
sudo docker run --rm -p 8887:8887 -v /workspace/my-jetbrains-repository/.jetbrains:/home/projector-user
