Error when trying to connect to the Javascript console on the standalone stack

[thejibz]

Hello,

Following the tutorial here https://capgemini.github.io/blockchain/ethereum-docker-compose/

Just after starting the standalone compose, I encountered an error when trying to do: docker exec -it bootstrap geth --datadir=~/.ethereum/devchain attach

Fatal: Unable to attach to remote geth: dial unix /root/.ethereum/geth.ipc: connect: no such file or directory

I tried to add the --ipcpath option with /root/.ethereum/devchain/geth.ipc with no success.

To make it works I had to manually create a symbolic link inside the container:
ln -s /root/.ethereum/devchain/geth.ipc /root/.ethereum/geth.ipc

PS: docker exec -it ethereumdocker_eth_1 geth attach ipc://root/.ethereum/devchain/geth.ipc in the README works.
