The easiest way is to NOT run node-red in docker. If you must, then that is really a docker issue (not a node-red issue). Search the internet for run program on host from docker client - e.g: [How to run shell script on host from docker container? - Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32163955/how-to-run-shell-script-on-host-from-docker-container)
