Editing config files for docker containers with vim

Hi,

I'm maintaining set of docker containers. We use convention that
every config file for a container is in /srv/<container>/ subdirectory.
E.g. /srv/<container>/etc/cron.daily/logrotate.
We use vim to maintain config files and we like feature/shortcut 'gf'
which opens file on cursor. E.g. logrotate file contains:

#!/bin/sh

/usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf
EXITVALUE=$?
if [ $EXITVALUE != 0 ]; then
/usr/bin/logger -t logrotate "ALERT exited abnormally with
[$EXITVALUE]"
fi
exit $EXITVALUE

therefore when I use 'gf' on /etc/logrotate.conf, file should be opened.

The issue is that path is correct when container is running, but when
I'm editing it from the host, it should be
/srv/<container>/etc/logrotate.conf.
Therefore I'm looking for vim setting or extension of vim which will
add requested prefix to file name when I'm opening it.

Any advice is welcome.

Best regards,

Jirka Novak
