Accessing Coder Workspace Volume via SSHFS from Windows

👋 Hi everyone,

I’m working with a Coder workspace that uses a Docker volume to persist data:

/var/lib/docker/volumes/coder-<UUID>-home/_data

I’d like to access this volume from my Windows machine using SSHFS/SFTP.

I tried bind-mounting the Docker volume to a path like /home/workspaces/user, which is accessible via SSH, but I’m getting read: Connection reset by peer when attempting to mount it with SSHFS.

💡 Is there any recommended or supported way in Coder to:

- expose a workspace’s Docker volume for SSH/SFTP access?
- or set up a persistent and safe bind mount for that volume?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
