@eric.d.scott I'm not sure if this helps, but here's the eshell alias I use for cd'ing to a docker container with docker-tramp:
alias dcd cd /docker:${docker ps -qf "name=$1"}:~/
You probably want to make sure you're using the docker container's absolute file path after the :
in the format /docker:user@container:/absolute/path/to/file
Thanks!
in the eshell alias above, you can cd into a container named example
with the command dcd example
