Install Docker Extension with the Extensions CLI.

  docker extension install docker/volumes-backup-extension:latest

Clone the project

  git clone https://github.com/docker/volumes-backup-extension.git

Go to the project directory

  cd volumes-backup-extension

Build the extension

  docker build -t docker/volumes-backup-extension:latest .

Install the extension

  docker extension install docker/volumes-backup-extension:latest

Developing the frontend

  cd ui
  npm install
  npm start

This starts a development server that listens on port 3000.

You can now tell Docker Desktop to use this as the frontend source. In another terminal run:

  docker extension dev ui-source docker/volumes-backup-extension:latest http://localhost:3000

In order to open the Chrome Dev Tools for your extension when you click on the extension tab, run:

  docker extension dev debug docker/volumes-backup-extension:latest

Each subsequent click on the extension tab will also open Chrome Dev Tools. To stop this behaviour, run:

  docker extension dev reset docker/volumes-backup-extension:latest
