What do you mean by 'can't run...'? What did you try, and what happened?

I would expect that your 'docker run' command should include parameters
to map directory/ies on your host machine, to those in the running
docker container. Then, the GForth running in the latter will be able to
see your existing Forth files.

Does that help any?
