Tks all, idk why, but now its working

I learn to use docker. I try mount a host directory in a Docker container: >docker run -it -v /Users/Kell/Desktop/data:/home/data 77

And this is error: docker: Error response from daemon: error while creating mount source path '/Users/Kell/Desktop/data': mkdir /Users: file exists.

**I use windows and docker 20.10.12, 77 is imageID ** I tried in another disk and tried many ways but still not working. Can u help me ?

CodePudding user response:

If you learning docker from scratch it is recommended to use --mount and not -v anymore: Mount > v

The syntax of --mount and -v differs, so here you' find both: How to mount

Path style in Windows depends on the console you are using. Some are just working in one and not in another.

Windows-Style: docker run --rm -ti -v C:\Users\user\work:/work alpine

Pseudo-Linux-Style in Windows: docker run --rm -ti -v /c/Users/user/work:/work alpine as well as //c/

Inside WSL: docker run --rm -ti -v /mnt/c/Users/user/work:/work alpine
