It's great to see Docker support added to Netbeans! Many thanks! It would be good to see the ability to connect to Docker through Unix sockets as well, in addition to TCP connections. On Linux systems, Docker defaults to a Unix socket and discourages the use of TCP connections due to security concern. While Netbeans is used on multiple platforms and Unix sockets are not available on Windows, I think ease of use and security validates creating a platform exception and offer a Unix socket option on Linux platforms in addition to TCP.
This is definitely planned though not for 8.2. Stay tuned.
Is there a workaround for now? like the one mentioned here : https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=262398
