Persist bash history for console between containers

[kierenevans]

To improve the developer experience for harness upgrades, store /home/build/.bash_history on a named volume, allowing history of commands to persist between console containers for a project

Our current named volumes are here - https://github.com/inviqa/harness-base-php/blob/1.2.x/src/_base/docker-compose.yml.twig#L24-L40 - and the console container can reference them here - https://github.com/inviqa/harness-base-php/blob/1.2.x/src/_base/_twig/docker-compose.yml/service/console.yml.twig#L13-L17

@kierenevans I gave it a little try and came up with this https://github.com/inviqa/harness-base-php/tree/feature/persistent-console-history - the way it's set up, it's the same history for all users, but that might actually be helpful 😅

@NoDiskInDriveA That's a clever solution, though it might need a bit more attention on linux as the volume is owned by root so will need it's permissions fixing for the build user to be able to write to it:

build@3c66e3277784:/app$ ls -la /home/build/.console/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root  root    6 Mar  7 08:40 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 build build 178 Mar  7 08:40 ..

build@3c66e3277784:/app$ mount | grep console
/dev/nvme0n1p3 on /home/build/.console type xfs (rw,relatime,attr2,inode64,logbufs=8,logbsize=32k,noquota)

Different users (other than root) probably can't write to it either once permissions are fixed, unless it were to be a 777 file?
Perhaps it can be a file per user account that we'd want to persist?

@kierenevans Damn, and here I was, using MacOS and thinking I was smart...I have zero experience how Docker behaves on Linux. I just know file permissions on shares are a PITA 😬

[NoDiskInDriveA]

@kierenevans Though, couldn't we use an existing mount? Point HISTFILE into /app somewhere?

Like so? Since it's about dev experience, we could tie it to the "ws console" command instead of having to deal with multiple users.
